RECENT FIND! TRUE VINTAGE SHADOWLINE LINGERIE HOUSECOAT

A beautiful example of a Shadowline housecoat from the 1960’s – early 1970’s. I’ve seen and owned many similar, but this one is special with full length sleeves and hemline. Made from that wonderful mid-century slinky knit nylon, and it also has the small embroidered rosebuds at the neckline which I prefer to the larger variety seen on later styles. Perfect condition, and in my size! Shadowline…

A LITTLE TRUE VINTAGE 1940'S JACKET AND SKIRT

I love the apple-green button trim on this navy jacket from the 1940’s. Alas, the original skirt was lost, but I was able to find one with an almost-perfect color, fabric weave and true-to-the-era style. That is phenomenal and rare, but not impossible for the Magicvintagespy. Aside from the cute and iconic design, these pieces are able to be worn as separates as well as a suit.  The fabric,…

MAJOR GLAM IN TRUE VINTAGE FURS - STOLE/CAPE AND JACKET FROM THE 1940'S / 1950'S

     When it starts to get cold, I think of looking at my collection of vintage furs.  Beautiful garments of by-gone days – never to be made again, I hope, but worth enjoying while they last.  The stylish cape on the left would only be worn during the day by a society matron and usually saved for evening wear.  The jacket on the right, however, is much more versatile and looked good over a suit…

FUN FIFTIES PJs FIND

Hello, Climate Change! The weather has suddenly morphed from sweltering to chilly and I’m pulling out these snuggly cotton flannel pajamas. Nothing beats the comfort and durability of these common Fifties garments. So comforting and warm, and I love the design that Stella wears above!

VINTAGE/RETRO-STYLE EYEGLASSES BY GENTLE MONSTER

This brand is a new one on me, but the style is so 1960’s that I had to pick them up and was pleased to learn more about them. Although I’ve seen only a few other modern frames with nosepieces, the look is always good and these are quite close to the true vintage style. Another great thing to learn was that they are very well-made, in Korea (so no surprise). Good value! This company was founded…

MID-CENTURY NIGHTHAWK NIGHT DRIVING GLASSES

Classic rectangular frames in heavy black plastic (but not Bakelite), with the metal screw details expected on many true vintage eyeglass frames but rarely seen now. I also love the carved detail on the temples. The brand name NIGHTHAWK is stamped inside along with another unusual stamp: FOREIGN. I suspect that this indicates that the frames, at least, were imported. I can find no other…
