Ellen Kaye Dresses

Noble Savage Vintage — Sun, 18 Nov 2012 20:05:38 +0000

I recently added this fun and fabulous 1940′s Conversational Print dress by Ellen Kaye to my shop Noble Savage Vintage on Ruby Lane. It is one of my favorite pieces and I just adore it’s quirky print, which consists of a repeat of swordfish and a ladies head. I typically see 1950′s dresses from this maker. I decided to do a little bit of research.

1940′s Ellen Kaye Conversational Print Dress

It turns out that the name has been around since 1922, trademarked by LANG-KOHN, INC. of ST. LOUIS. Apparantly , St. Louis was the origin of the junior apparel craze. In 1926, Lang-Kohn, Inc. would become the company, that manufactured the first junior size garments in the country. I found quite a few Ellen Kaye ads in the Newspaper archives and thought I would share a few.

The Jantzen company made more than vintage swimwear

bettesbargains — Sun, 14 Oct 2012 01:00:17 +0000

Most people, and even I always associated Jantzen with vintage swimwear.

With the diving figure logo that always comes to mind first.

But they made many kinds of vintage knit sportswear clothing.

Here is a wool and mohair 1950s vintage mens cardigan sweater with a zipper front just added to Bette Be Good Vintage Clothing

This vintage sweater is not just for a retro guy. Anyone can wear it.

Noble Savage Vintage — Fri, 28 Sep 2012 20:52:17 +0000

Fall is the favorite Season here at Noble Savage Vintage. Nothing beats the quality of the Vintage wools or the construction and detailing of vintage work and formal attire. We have been working to increase our selection of quality menswear, some classic and some, really quite unique. I have included a few of our more classic pieces from the Etsy Shop and the Ruby Lane Shop in this blog, but please do stay tuned as we have really only just begun!

I hope you enjoy.

See you soon!

British Vogue 1984

catwalkcreative — Mon, 27 Aug 2012 09:54:22 +0000

We may already have experienced the best of the summer weather (in England anyway!), but one can always rely on a vintage fashion glossie to remind ourselves that somewhere on this planet, warmer climes and mid summer escapes await. Here’s a pretty photo shoot taken from British Vogue July 1984, with images by Paul Lange in Haiti. Hair by Bob Fink. Enjoy!

Long pale linens for the long hot holiday abroad, garlanded with short pearl strings, wide faded straws, the prettiest scarves. Wear them with slippers or summer brogues for exploring the coast, the mountains, the mysteries of Haiti. Here, airy spaces, faded fretted wood, shades of the past, at the Grand Hotel Oloffson in Port au Prince, where Graham Green wrote The Comedians, and Vogue, some eighteen years later, stayed.

Soft green linen collarless shirt, £69, cream linen breeches, by Perry Ellis £150. Cashmere cardigan, £82.50. Lilac and cream chiffon scarf, £3, from a selection at Cornucopia.

White lace and linen shirt, beige linen trousers, brown leather belt, pearl beads, from a selection at Ralph Lauren.

White linen suit, short sleeved shirt, about £189 (with skirt and jacket, not shown). Trousers with turn-ups, about £46. Both by Max Mara.

Short-sleeved white linen shirt, £69, Striped linen trousers, £81.60, both by Paul Costello. Natural straw hat swathed in white chiffon, £35. Marvella fake pearls, from £8.95. Silk chiffon scarf, £26, at Kenzo. Brown and white leather co-respondent shoes, £85, at Flli Rossetti.

Short-sleeved pleated linen dress by Max Mara, £147. Leather brogues, £59.50, from a selection at Mulberry.

This One’s For The Fellas

Noble Savage Vintage — Thu, 02 Aug 2012 15:00:30 +0000

Can you believe that it is already August? Fall will be upon us before we know it, which means that it’s time for Noble Savage Vintage to get busy restocking our menswear. I cannot wait to photograph all of the new tuxedos, morning coats, frock coats and wool work shirts. The pieces below are new to the shop and represent a sneak preview of what is coming. Gentlemen, it’s time to start putting your formal wear evening kit together. I hope these pieces inspire.

This is a phenomenal 3 piece men’s formal evening dress set with tailcoat, waist coat, and buckle back trousers. This cut was popular around the turn of the century and will fulfill your Late Victorian and Early Edwardian needs. You will be very pleased with the condition and quality as well as the many fabulous little details.

Turn of the Century 3-piece tux

Whether you are looking for stiff front, soft front, french cuffs or regular, I am working on a nice selection of men’s formal shirts. This formal Piqué bib shirt buttons up the back for a nice smooth look and has a large 16 1/2 neck.

Men’s Piqué stiff front full dress shirt, 16 1/2

I also have a nice collection of winged collars on the way, most 16-1/2. This is the first on the site.

Winged collar

You don’t see these every day. I have been adding formal and informal neckwear to both the Etsy and the Ruby Lane shops. This Silk cravat is late Victorian and is also one of my current favorites.
