Ugh...New old stock with tags say it ain't so!! That stinks.
Last week I lost on a horrible candy cane sweater (LOL). It was flammable & horrible. I was planning on wearing it to our annual Tacky Christmas Sweater Party (you can't get in the door without one) it would have been perfect...and i lost by about $1. I was a little too certain I was the only one in the world who would bid on such nonsense...:(
I hope my candy cane story made you feel a little better.
really, "ugh'? huh. as long as it's not been used and doesn't have that weird stink, i love vintage textiles. i think if they're not gross, they can be inspirational and look so totally cool with lovely pieces.
i used to try, really hard, (like we all did) in college to wear vintage clothing, but it came down to the "stink". i can't and couldn't bear it. i like my things to smell very 'clean'
BB8,
From another textile/linen freak, I feel your PAIN! !

The wallpaper background in a couple of Gorsuch spreads is reminiscent of these beauts........
Keep your radar on, gotta be more out there....Alison
I'm changing my name to bobbypony.
So-from here on out, it's Bobbypony Sutton. Mkay?
you totally should. damn! wish i had thought of that!
if i ever write a book, (about urban gangsta designers) i'm going to get all of my character's street names from ebay.
and what a huge hit that would be!!!
Oh no, I meant...oh no...sometimes I try to type & sound funny & it comes out sounding not right...
I collect vintage 40's fruit linens & felt your pain...prob should have just said that...
oh i didn't get that! i have plenty of friends who would be completely grossed out by the thought of using vintage linens!
i have some of vintage, fruit tablecloths. i love their colors!
