Can we see the most expensive item, the most cherished item by you, and each employee’s favorite piece/article of clothing?:) love u guys!!! Keep up the amazing content!
The reason they made the color blocking patches for child clothes was the idea of a child should wear the clothes that is made from the fabrics donated by many others. In the past, it was believed that when kids wears a jacket like this, they will be lucky and receive good luck from the owners of those original owners of the fabrics.
Absolutely LOVE this geometric applique so much! Dived a litter deeper into this, this is called 百家衣. Means that this rope collects appliques from friends and relatives with good fortunes, and will bring the luck to the new-born. Said to developed in Ming Dynasty, popular in Ching Dynasty, and this piece in such AMAZING condition is in post-Ching Dynasty, 1920s during Minguo Era (for your information Doris, this is the era when Cheongsam is popular). I can just imagine the kid who wore this must be from Old Money, very traditional and with certain wealth and power catching the end of previous Dynasty's glory, right before the war breaks out in the coming decades.
The ways the clothes are presented and when someone can find their fit it's really lovely to see that. Also the way u have made a collection for inspiration is also amazing. It's just not clothing but also the thought that u put make all the difference.
Gorgeous!! Sadly, I do not know anything about the garment. If it were a quilt, the pattern is called Tumbling Blocks. Off topic, but one for the "you never know where you'll learn something file" - there is an annual event in LA called Costume College which is attended by costume designers, clothing historians, historical re-enactors & cos-players. I was watching videos of it & came across a conversation amongst a group of ladies who make Victorian Era gowns speaking about how early Christian Dior gowns and Victorian gowns have the exact same underpinnings & are constructed the exact same way. Blew my mind, but makes perfect sense.
Doris your natural sparkle hair is beautiful!! You're like 1 good haircut away from 100% no color !! I hope you're excited! It looks gorgeous and makes you look younger actually than the brown😉😁💓
I'll be so glad when the rest of the blonde grows out,your silver is bella! Hairdresser speaking. Hard to transition out of color.. so much freedom when you go natural
I would love to see your collection from other cultures, love that idea! 😍 Whenever I travel, I love to purchase local jewelry/embroidery and add to my collection. I believe you have a Seminole skirt or jacket?? Would love to hear the story behind that. Seminoles from Fl had more opportunities to fine tune their patchwork skills than other Seminoles that moved out west. You can see symbolism in the patchwork: rain, lightning, animals... etc.
Bronte Lex Hi Bronte! Not quite ready to let this one go. I can certainly entertain an offer if you would like to make one. I keep this piece at home as a piece of art. Thanks for your interest! Doris
Tony Neader You are absolutely correct Tony! Thanks for the correction but we can’t edit that. Without a script, mistakes will happen and I apologize for my mistake. Doris
Turbo Bitch Yes, and Australasian, African, Southern Americas. Especially interesting if the designer is known or if designers have been inspired by that culture (without appropriating it)

Hi Doris, just wondering if this item is for sale?
Bronte Lex Hi Bronte! Not quite ready to let this one go. I can certainly entertain an offer if you would like to make one. I keep this piece at home as a piece of art.
Thanks for your interest!
Doris
What a lucky little kid that got to wear that.
sure Doris! will help you identify your pieces if its something relatable to Southeast Asia or Asia.
Kay S I appreciate knowing that. Thanks Kay!
Doris
The Chinese Robe is to die.. my kids always wore colored long sweaters like that
Reminds me of a mandala, for some reason.
The shape is actually called a rhombus. All of the sides are the same length. A trapezoid has unequal sides. Sorry 😐
Tony Neader You are absolutely correct Tony! Thanks for the correction but we can’t edit that. Without a script, mistakes will happen and I apologize for my mistake.

Okay sound quality is a bit better.
👍
Would love to see some eastern European pieces 😉
