VINTAGE LINENS

|| OH YES, YET ANOTHER HOT PRODUCT TREND on our radar & this time we are raiding grandma’s linen closet to find all those forgotten handmade pieces.In this charming take on grandmas vintage linens we are seeing an emergence of nostalgic textiles come together in a fresh modern way.

Imagine for a second you raided an estates sale linen closet and found vintage crochet table doilies, handkerchiefs, table runners, and all types of white neutral white linens. They are worn in and well loved, soft natural fabrics. Now imagine you snagged a bag full of these one of a kind pieces. You then hand them to a friend who sews and asked her to make you a few unique pieces out of them. This handmade look is the is the entire vibe of this fashion trend. Unique, vintage, and full of unexpected details.

As the cultural trend for sustainable fashion and reworked fashion continues to rise we are beginning to

see new styles emerge with the simlar, vintage-esque characteristics. We will be seeing this trend show up in patchwork construction with a focus on asymmetrical seams, unusual placements, and creative embellishments. These pieces give off a ‘one of a kind’ vibe, they’ll be flowy with uncommon silhouettes and details.

As a bohemian fashion lover myself I tend to enjoy when this portion of the industry gets to partake in current trends. The bohemian fashion industry, like menswear, rarely sees changes to their classics driven fashion scene.

I foresee this being a brilliant time for newer designers in the re-worked fashion market to get ahead of the curve.
