More Vintage Lingerie
Filed in: Fashion, Lingerie, Secondhand, Shopping
I seem to be on a roll with this vintage lingerie hunt of mine. Two more pieces made it to my collection today, although they weren´t nearly as cheap as those I got this weekend. They seem to be in perfect condition though. I got them at a little shop called Et Dukkehjem (as in A Dolls House, by Henrik Ibsen). They have a lot of great stuff like this there and I have bought vintage lingerie from them before. The only problem is that the shop is such a mess, piles of clothes and bags with clothes in them, filling up all the floor and wall space. You really have to set aside some time to go through things or you´d just turn at the door. There should be a discount for doing half the job yourself, but the old ladies that run the shop are so sweet. They sit there gossiping all day.

What great finds! And it sounds like a wonderful little shop, even though you had to do all the work. Just the kind of place I would like to have when I’m old and grey.

There’s something very comforting about old vintage stuff.

Gorgeous….I share your love for vintage lingerie…I was even selling it on ebay for a while (well the ones that I didn’t keep for myself!)

Sally Jane, I know! It´s not about making money at all, they just sit there and enjoy life. I´d like that too.
Cedar, I wish more people kept and sold lingerie like this. It seems as if most of it is being tossed out. Understandable in a way as it´s underwear, but still…
