- Vintage accessories are my favorite thing to collect, unlike clothing which sometimes doesn't fit, or can tend to degrade faster due to fragile fabrics, accessories can last through time and thank goodness because these fabulous items deserve to be worn again! These are the items I've been buying lately, what vintage accessories are on your wishlist?

Thanks for watching!
Adore those ruched white gloves 💞
I love that whites ones too
My favorite is the hat, you look really adorable in it. I appreciate how you always mention that you don't have to pay a fortune for one item, but can dig around more for something similar but reasonably priced. A lot of TH-camrs do the "it was horribly expensive, but I just HAD to have it" routine waaay to often for it to be a special occasion. And it's not a good attitude to instill in viewers who usually have less money.
Thank you Olga! I don't have a fortune to be spending on things myself, so budgeting is always a concern of mine! Plus I'd rather get a deal if I can, I'm willing to search for the best price for sure :) I think it's important for people to know that the vintage look can be achieved on a budget.
Love everything you found,my favourite's are the red gloves,both double brooches and the white bag
Thank you Janaine!
I had such beautiful and so well made rhinestone pieces from my mother. They were gorgeous. Probably more late 40’s into fifties. But we had a fire and lost EVeryThing! The pain! Your finds are so nice and beautiful. What great finds for your collection.have a great week, Bianca.
Thank you Rachel! And so sad! I know an amazing vintage collector who also lost her collection in a fire, so devastating!
Love to see how you would style these accessories, and I love the " I have reasons! " comment it made me laugh.
Never worry about talking too fast, I like your efficient description/discussion!
Thank you!
Ooh you always find such treasures! Can you show how you clean them and reshape the hat etc? Xx
I need to get a better steamer and then I could certainly show how I'd spruce up the hat :)
Advanced style
Wow! You are so informative & knowledgeable on this stuff, Thank you for sharing!!
Thank you!
Amazing finds. Especially the lamp brooch!
Thank you!
you always find treasures! and you know how to rock a hat! my favourites are the fabulous hat, the brown cord bag, the red gloves!! and you have a way to just know how to wear anything!
Thank you!
The design of the red gloves looks solid late 30’s early 40’s. They look right out of Adrian design from The Women.
I love vintage items too. You found some beautiful items. I especially love to find purses from the 40's.
Me too, I'd love to have one in every color one day :)
One of the only benefits of having a larger foot size (you were talking of glove sizes, which brought this to mind) is that when there's a sale on, it's the time you may have a chance of finding something in your size!
Would you do a video on gloves? The dos and don't, sizing, how to pair with outfits.
Certainly! It sounds like a great idea, I'll put it on the list!
This is the second or third time I’ve watched this video...I love the bags in the beginning and the double Pins at the end
Thank you!
The brooches and the ivory/yellow bag are probably my favourite! Great finds, Bianca!
Thanks Stella!
The plum hair is quite obvious and beautiful esp from the side. Ooh such treasures!
Thank you! It was fun to have purple hair for a while, but the maintenance is killer!
Oh! Everything you found is so lovely! And I know what you mean about the difficulty of finding vintage gloves. We have almost the same glove size. :D
Thank you Madison! I wish someone still made nice cotton dress gloves in many colors and sizes, it would be so useful!
Just discovered your channel and im so happy I did! Your content is such treasures ❤️ I dont dress in the vintage style, but I love looking and learning about the different fashions for every decade. 😊
Thank you Sam!
I love vintage jewelry and wears
Oooh, my favorites are the silver purse & the flower/starburst brooches! 😻✴✨
Thanks Eileen!
Fantastic finds! Loved watching this!
Thank you!
Happy Sunday, Bianca. Love your name btw. Just wanted to say hi and thank you for your kind comments. So nice. Sorry for your friend as well. It’s such a painful situation. Love your style and enjoy very much seeing your selections. You’ve got great taste. You’re so lucky to be able to sew as you do. I’m sure that takes you far. How’s the writing going? I’m pulling for you. You’re such a dear girl. Me, I could be your grand mom or great gran. Yep, I’m up there! I’m so happy I’ve found your channel. I so enjoy it. And you of course! Enjoy your Sunday. Really do love that purple hair on you. I bet it really was a killer to upkeep. Talk to you soon. Hugs, Rachel ❤️🐈💄🌷
Thank you Rachel! I have been writing quite a lot, which is why I have been quieter than I had planned to be here on TH-cam for the past several days, but I have videos planned for this week :) I hope you had a lovely weekend!
Beautiful haul! I absolutely adore those 2 double pinned brooches! Another fab video doll. Xxx
Thank you Jo!
It is likely much smarter to shop with a specific goal in mind 😅 thank you for sharing
Absolutely loving your hair in this video, it's my favorite of all the different looks
Thank you!
You are so beautiful, love your style
Love the brass/gold bracelet and dress clips
Excellent collection additions, total bonus points for using the word anachronistic correctly in a sentence. It made me laugh a bit, thank you. 😋
Thank you Mya!
Lv your hair and the necklace a great haul
Thank you!
You know, I watch the videos again and again and depending on the light I have, I see more or less details. So, as I can see now the black and the blue bag are made by crochet, on double herringbone stich and shell stich respectively.
Yes they are crochet, I wish I new how to crochet myself so I could make new ones in every color!
I wish you an ever bigger accessories wardrobe, because as we all know that there is not such a thing as "too many accessories" ☺
Thank you! So true ;)
I love watching your videos and can't wait until you post another one. I'm slowly adding vintage inspired pieces to my wardrobe and am interested in sewing some vintage patterns this summer. I hope all is well! Thank you for all of your hardwork.
Thank you so much! I'll be back soon, just finishing up a different time intensive project at the moment!
Can you or do you show some of your whole outfits? I would love to see a whole day of dress up cause I know there was a look for morning noon and night.
Could you show us how to wear dress clips to best effect some time? I love yours and would like to start collecting them, but not quite sure how they would work? Great video! XXX
Thank you! I do have a video all about dress clips which shows some photos of how they were worn if that may be of any help th-cam.com/video/pFjY7aFHamo/w-d-xo.html
@@TheClosetHistorian Ooh lovely, I will have a gander, thanks very much!
Love these videos if your ever in Neosho Mo. Stop in and see us.
Where do you usually find hats online? I'm in desperate need of an all white/ivory hat.
I usually do my hat shopping on Etsy, though I have found a few on Ebay before!
Do you have any recommendations for resources that are helpful for authenticating vintage bags? I thrifted a bag the other day which I think is from the 1930s but I'm not too sure.
I don't know of any specific authenticating resources exactly, but for some general knowledge of styles and materials for each era check out Vintage Dancer's articles vintagedancer.com/1930s/1930s-handbags-purses-history/ which can give a great overview of the different styles.Other than that, it's just about researching to see if you can find a similar bag in an old photograph or catalog page. Sometimes the materials themselves give good clues, like metal zippers being a good indicator of age, or the fonts on old labels being very mid-century or art deco looking in style. Anything with polyester, even a poly lining, is going to be from the second half of the 20th century rather than the first, details like that can help date things for sure!
Great finds....and thanks for sharing!
I'm a genealogy/family history nut. I'm not interested in pedigree (meaningless to me), but love the story of people's lives. Do you ever wonder about the person who may have worn the jewelry or garments?
I totally do, I have bought pieces before where the seller has included a little note about the owner and that is always the best!
Do you have a good way for cleaning corde clutch bags?
Sadly I have never attempted it myself so I have no advice! Sorry I can't be of help!
I’m toying with the idea of just vacuuming it gently and then going over it with a damp cloth. Hmmmmm.
What is a good price to pay for a1950’s cloth purse in good to excellent condition? I have my eye on a couple and want to make sure I wouldn’t be over paying.
Hmm well it does depend, some colors/fabrics are rarer than others. For faux leather handbags I look to get them at around $30 or less unless it's a crazy great color then I'd go up to around $60, for real leather I stick to around $50-$70. Cloth it's hard to say because I'm not exactly sure what you mean, velvet? corde? lace? satin? There are many styles of cloth handbags. I guess my biggest shopping strategy for vintage is that if I see something I really like, and can't find it anywhere else for less, then it is probably pretty rare and I'll save up for it/spring for it. I always search far and wide for the best deal though; like the silver bag in this video, there are some similar ones going for $40 on Etsy right now, and others for just $9, so make sure you check out what other similar bags are going for to establish whether you think the price for the one you'd like is fair.
TheClosetHistorian they claim it’s satin, but I don’t know how knowledgeable they are, and it’s a coblentz bag
Hmm for satin I would probably only go up to around $40 unless it was truly exceptional or unique personally.
TheClosetHistorian thank you for all the help
Isn’t the book chain Renaissance Revival?
How do you figure out your hat and glove size??
For hats the band size is measured around the head across the forehead and just over the ears, but many many vintage hats are free size in that the inner circumstance is quite small (20 inches or less) because the hat is meant to perch atop the head rather than fit down around the head like most modern hats do. For gloves measure around the palm/hand just below the fingers, if the measurement is say 7.5", then the glove size would be 7.5.
So this might be an inappropriate question to ask here but I just moved to Denver from Chicago and I was wondering if you had any recommendations for the best flea markets and swap meets. Not just for clothes but in general. Ive been to Mile High once and it was okay. Any info you had would be greatly appreciated.
I am more of an online shopper myself, so I sadly don't know of too many! The Littleton Antiques Mall on Broadway is one of my favorites, and many of the little shops further down on Broadway closer to Denver are nice to browse around in too. I like the Paris Street Fair Market at Aspen Grove Mall (off Sante Fe) in the summer time too, even though most of the dealers are more shabby chic than really true vintage. Sorry I can't be of more help!
charming!
Thank you!
How are you keeping your jewelry?
I show how I store all of my accessories in my closet tour video which can be seen here : th-cam.com/video/Emq_2UmxVbM/w-d-xo.html :)
Bianca I am enamored of your interesting pins with the chain between. In looking for something similar, I'm finding "collar pins". Is that the same item or are collar pins more recent? Seeing them on lapels, so balanced right-to-left, is not nearly as fun as the way you positioned them on your shirt front.
I personally think collar pins/clips with chains are different, though I have had vaguely heated discussions with those who disagree over that in the past! I have seen them labeled as chatelaine brooches, like here on reputable seller Raleigh Vintage raleighvintage.com/products/vintage-late-1940s-brass-flower-chatelaine-brooch before, or also as duette brooches (which are actually different, but people label stuff wrong often) or as double pins too. Good luck hunting them down out there, it isn't the easiest style to find!
l so enjoy you. a beautiful lady
Thank you!
