Pintucks Vintage Fashion Trunk Show: Fashions for the Holidays

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We recently held a trunk show at a 1914 Craftsman home in the hills of Southern California.  Our space was in a large master bedroom with a gorgeous old dressing room adjacent.  It provided us with the perfect opportunity to display some holiday dresses and finery.  We had a great time meeting many of our new customers.  It was also fun to reunite with some regular customers from the old Pintucks boutique days!<br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Here are some dreamy pix from that day in the hills with a view to the sea. <br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9JvXTds6bFX6GislsD8Hj2EKs8UtGFyOw0kwKgEwdTIP4Op_I-OB20RBb9jcYeKlX4zxKbF1-KKqIokOGMOOdlxGY6gxtAwa3cryWZzXBs18MivsH4iawIRcWfyVFO2UcvDAf0yjDp1gb/s1600/PB140056.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9JvXTds6bFX6GislsD8Hj2EKs8UtGFyOw0kwKgEwdTIP4Op_I-OB20RBb9jcYeKlX4zxKbF1-KKqIokOGMOOdlxGY6gxtAwa3cryWZzXBs18MivsH4iawIRcWfyVFO2UcvDAf0yjDp1gb/s640/PB140056.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiC0eaiWzyxvZqQE0Uk2Wn7beGSRWxQIPC9zlA3Qv-6AeEpC4qdK1UoYaMV-aH0-qiGT7WO0fqkMWTtVwQsruW_7n5JCsZ7wB3kuM8CfNEm29Ou3UzVg3_uNAd3ZM408Vav6mjo00LMe1x/s1600/PB140075.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiC0eaiWzyxvZqQE0Uk2Wn7beGSRWxQIPC9zlA3Qv-6AeEpC4qdK1UoYaMV-aH0-qiGT7WO0fqkMWTtVwQsruW_7n5JCsZ7wB3kuM8CfNEm29Ou3UzVg3_uNAd3ZM408Vav6mjo00LMe1x/s400/PB140075.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWFKfQNET_W9ZHLUqS8UUbxrWHVo5HeXGd7qtlAka7xQ_5f8WQkVtmLhuvgkRexpjukVjWT_Icjh9VjVwpZ6KfhQwA-nfkeiiCZow4Ga4U2pkyI5KZmUCHf9-bjqrSm6ICrRVHlA4zVb_y/s1600/PB140060.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWFKfQNET_W9ZHLUqS8UUbxrWHVo5HeXGd7qtlAka7xQ_5f8WQkVtmLhuvgkRexpjukVjWT_Icjh9VjVwpZ6KfhQwA-nfkeiiCZow4Ga4U2pkyI5KZmUCHf9-bjqrSm6ICrRVHlA4zVb_y/s400/PB140060.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiesxXVMm86cM-lobJcObewhYeeWG34i7YRKIXeYPoJLdG0Fzflm46nr_8seCC4dkiPtVdD3FpQ0h3nq_pLEPIDiqU3JiXN1K7zFqchawsilTbmvuKHloUwADs8X2CtqbnX9t8hYRoxgsru/s1600/PB140073.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiesxXVMm86cM-lobJcObewhYeeWG34i7YRKIXeYPoJLdG0Fzflm46nr_8seCC4dkiPtVdD3FpQ0h3nq_pLEPIDiqU3JiXN1K7zFqchawsilTbmvuKHloUwADs8X2CtqbnX9t8hYRoxgsru/s400/PB140073.JPG" /></a>

There's something in that nifty brass setting that really gives her luxurious jackets and coats a bit of down to earth practicality. I can't begin to imagine the "Eureka" moment when she realized she could apply them to her jackets, after seeing the twist locks in a more utilitarian application.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiQezNWgNAHr94viR0QamgZ9LRE59nPjWA008gKB4gsUw5LCyNn3bkF-MGiXvQsWqsAzaStHW5laZIAvNgOMYwUhcT1eAZO1Bws1SmPPRRXtZM4BoNuWxTrkx8ZWao2a3t-nEhjqI7-gu9/s1600-h/P1050332.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiQezNWgNAHr94viR0QamgZ9LRE59nPjWA008gKB4gsUw5LCyNn3bkF-MGiXvQsWqsAzaStHW5laZIAvNgOMYwUhcT1eAZO1Bws1SmPPRRXtZM4BoNuWxTrkx8ZWao2a3t-nEhjqI7-gu9/s640/P1050332.JPG" /></a><br /></div>Soft pastel suede? Sounds nice, now pop in a twist lock. It's better than a button any day. Zipper? you ask. That's an abutted front seam, but our dear twist locks allow us our overlapped front closure. Casual and elegant at the same time.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi137SFHniSnBIayox_eYo9G1REmF2wWX4Z_Wu0TnMRE7KDRPmQ-K3X9LeFErqPPOZu2TtDNjbZwZnS3wGc0AjmoPqoG8o1NcoU6p84_W7NJONszIpUuEm0bz5x59mK3Rg_EG_B7Mw7xypn/s1600-h/P1050333.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi137SFHniSnBIayox_eYo9G1REmF2wWX4Z_Wu0TnMRE7KDRPmQ-K3X9LeFErqPPOZu2TtDNjbZwZnS3wGc0AjmoPqoG8o1NcoU6p84_W7NJONszIpUuEm0bz5x59mK3Rg_EG_B7Mw7xypn/s640/P1050333.JPG" /></a><br /></div>Signature loopy wool with leather binding frames a brass twister at the neckline. It seems so logical, this industrial fastening. Without it, we would have gotten bored years ago.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoCKKC7LUOkuXm9Fwo4TUFHWIqbbhKd8oLmPooyVGab0TMW6fZupRHZZbjx34Av8YEbjRxk-DjWOKiAfwl6RYZh0lgBHdq4lUbCiJHu9W-fv1_MH-YoPhRJ172_xQNCzu-eKhVyLvbnNwz/s1600-h/P1050351.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoCKKC7LUOkuXm9Fwo4TUFHWIqbbhKd8oLmPooyVGab0TMW6fZupRHZZbjx34Av8YEbjRxk-DjWOKiAfwl6RYZh0lgBHdq4lUbCiJHu9W-fv1_MH-YoPhRJ172_xQNCzu-eKhVyLvbnNwz/s640/P1050351.JPG" /></a><br /></div>Now you get the picture!
