Details

There is a reason we have all heard the saying,
"they just don't make things like they used to."

Because, well frankly they don't. Most likely due to the fact that the handwork that went into making vintage clothes like these would be far too expense for today's companies to produce.

If you are willing to do a little hunting and can deal with a moth hole or two, wearing vintage clothing can add more style and exquisite details to your wardrobe than any modern option. This is why I adore shops like Dear Golden. The selection is always fun to browse and are complete with helpful descriptions.

These charming vintage brass stencils were originally designed to easily interlock for marking large wooden crates and packages bound for far off destinations. Now no longer needed, some have found their way into new wares.
