Vintage Men’s Neckties

Two vintage men’s neckties that will take you back to the 50’s and 60’s. They both came from a container that was found when closing down my family’s home so the years are accurate. In addition, neither neckties have been worn since they were still in their gift boxes to my Dad. The blue, navy, black patterned tie on the left is from the 1955 period and is 51” long and about 3 1/2” wide. There is a hang tag on the tie that indicates it was from Laurant Originals. The fabric is believed to be a combination of acetate & rayon which was typical at that time. The brown tie with beige polka-dots is from the 1960 period and is 53” long and 3” wide. The fabric is labeled as 65% acetate and 35% rayon. (1 available of each style) $35.00 for both


Vintage Albanese Sweater

When I worked at Max Factor/Revlon around 1990, I would go to New York City on a regular basis for meetings. I used to stay at The Regency Hotel on Park Avenue and 63rd Street. On one of my trips, there was a last minute event that I had to attend, and I didn’t have an appropriate outfit. Remembering there was this fabulous little shop about two blocks from the hotel, I ran in and purchased this gorgeous, beaded Albanese Roma sweater and a pair of elegant, black shoes from Italy. The shoulders on this vintage sweater have that Dynasty TV Show design, oversized with lots of form fitting padding. This incredible Italian red sweater with the cable stitching is absolutely stunning with beautiful beading in an array of regal colors: fiery red, cobalt blue, brushed gold, pure white and evening gray. At the center of the beads on the shoulders is a flower design surrounding a clear glass stone. The back of the sweater has the same detailing with the added highlight of a double diamond design. The sweater closes with seven delicate, red buttons and has two small invisible pockets on either side of the sweater.Since the sweater was a little too big on me, I packed it away after only wearing it once for a few hours. Remembering the sweater after all these years, I tried it on and was disappointed to see that the sweater still does not fit me because my shoulders are too small to carry such a powerful and “statement” design. The little shop has been closed for years and this vintage sweater looks like it belongs in a museum. I know that there is someone who will appreciate the detail of the sweater and will wear it on very special occasions. The gold and brown label says Albanese Roma with the little hammer in the middle of their logo. Since there is no size on the sweater, I estimate that it is a medium size. The sleeves are 23” long and the sweater weighs 1 lb 14 oz. Included is a small package of beads, red thread and a red button for touch ups. (1 available). Originally priced over $1,000 in 1990, now $795.00 because I want to find this gorgeous sweater a new home.
