What do you think of when you hear the word “vintage”? We recently asked this question to a fashionable and lovely 22-year-old—an ambassador, whether she knew it or not, of the most daring, hip, and resourceful age group in the fashion world.
Expecting a reply of “Betty Draper from Man Men” or “old furniture,” we were delighted to hear her simply but confidentially say “fur coats and fancy brooches.” Actually, “delighted” is an understatement; we were shocked and totally excited, because, really, what’s more luxuriously vintage than multicolored jewels and faux fur (or even better, multicolored jewels ON your fur coat).
Fur (much like our last post about red lipstick) is an undyingly lavish fashion trend perfect for anyone looking to spice up a basic dress, stay warm with elegance, or claim her niche in high fashion glory. But adorning a fur coat is like choosing a new pair of heels—there are many options, styles, textures, colors, and preferences for every occasion.
When you find the style that works just for you, come check out Vintage Market North and South for a HUGE selection of brooches perfect for dolling-up any coat!
