Review Ladies' Vintage Accessories by LaRee Johnson Bruto

Pros: best of vintage accessories

Cons: no tips to restore vintage accessories

This book Ladies' Vintage Accessories by LaRee Johnson Bruto is full of fascinating information along with beautiful pictures and is considered to be one of the best for vintage accessories. This book is a compelling photo study of the styles for each era - Victorian, Edwardian, Roaring Twenties, Depression, WWII, Fabulous Fifties, and Modern - and identification and value guide for collectors of vintage fashion.


This book reminds us about the past trends in fashion, the accessories that women have used over the past 150 years, some pieces dating back even earlier to 1820, like a parasol from the Jackson-Decatur debates.

A quick look into the closets and trunks of the author reveals many parts of ensembles of ladies from the past. I liked this book very much as it covers an array of Victorian and newer ladies accessories. There is so much to see and the pictures are all nice and clear. It also makes an interesting read.
