Vintage Chinese Dresses: Cheongsam

Maggie Cheung & Tony Leung -In The Mood For Love (2000)
 I just bought 30 vintage Chinese dresses. Excellent condition dating from the 1950's thru the early 70's. Silk, cotton, wool, rayon -the prints are fantastic. Priced and ready to try on.
Reminds me of the Chinese film In the Mood For Love, set in Hong Kong, 1962. Actress Maggie Cheung wears a different cheongsam in every scene.

This Weeks Find: 1960's Rattan

Vintage Rose Blog: 1940's Beauty

Coastal Living Magazine
Buying a set of rattan or bamboo furniture can be expensive.
Best bet?
Find a reasonably priced vintage set and recover it.
We have an East Bay customer who is moving into a smaller space. This late 60's Montgomery Wards set needs a new home. Perfect as is or imagine it recovered like the one pictured above?
7 pieces: coffee table, end table, foot stool, a love seat and a 3 piece sectional sofa. The photos are of the same set in different configurations. No spots, stains or rips. They are reasonably priced and could be recovered easily. If you're interested, email me.
