Wear vintage and make the world brighter—That’s been my mantra since 1999 when I started denisebrain vintage. Vintage fashion has gone mainstream—seen on popular shows, worn by style icons, influencing modern designers—and there are many good reasons for that. It can be exquisitely made and wildly economical for its quality. It always gives its wearer an opportunity to express herself in a way tha

“Your descriptions of your vintage items are charming and accurate. You clearly are very knowledgeable and have an excellent sense of style, across all the different decades from which you hand pick these lovely outfits.”

”You have really inspired me. I came away from your site so happy! It was fun, thoughtful and very interesting, and I love pink!…When I get down from now on I am going to just go browse around your store for a few minutes and I'm sure it will pick me right back up!”

“It is fun to go shopping there, every item has a story and she tells it well. She is as happy and cheerful as she looks in all her presentations, shows a real love for what she does, and this spills over into the sweet considerate way she treats her customers.”

“I buy quite a lot of vintage from the U.S. but I really need to send a heartfelt personal ‘thank you’ for the most beautifully presented, carefully packaged piece I’ve ever received! The time taken by you in treating this dress so tenderly has the effect of sprinkling fairy dust over it for the recipient.”

“Sizing is dead on perfect, shipping and communication: Best ever!”

“When I order from you, I know exactly what I'm going to get—which is an exquisite new vintage piece that I will treasure.”

I didn't set out to do this, but I ended up making a case for wearing brown. I'd love it if you'd read this and answer the two questions at the end. (I'm on a mission...)

The color brown. What does it say to you? Do you like to look at it? Do you like to wear it? For the last several years, brown has been everywhere on runways and in style guides. Clearly the color is having a moment. In a Vox article written by Shira Tarlo (“ Why brown is so on trend in fash

1980s Victor Costa cocktail dress with the richest layering of fabrics (bronze cord-embroidered two-tone lace, iridescent taffeta and satin) all poured into a simple cut that makes the best of the fabric and wearer.

If you want to try the brown trend but you want it to be a bit exciting, this might be it. Also, check out the necklace in bracelet shown closer in the 2nd photo.
