Doris Raymond Procures Motherlode of French 1920′s items!

Saturday, August 11th, 2012


Last week Doris dazzled us with one of her famous “Dog and Pony” shows. After she returns from a buying trip, she always unpacks the treasures in front of the entire staff. We sit encircling her two enormous suitcases like a campfire and we cover our eyes between each piece so we can get the full impact of the big reveal.

We “Oooh” and “Aaah,” try on the pieces that are our favorites and snap pics, and when she can- she gives us the provenance of each masterfully hand embroidered and meticulously hand-beaded garment. Trust me, if you’re a vintage lover,  it’s better than Christmas!

Look out for images of  new 1920′s flapper dresses, mantles and opera coats!

Check out our amazing selection of  1920′s here! But, beware! You won’t be able to resist these beauties!!

 

Doris Raymond Confesses: “My Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is Out of Control!”

Friday, May 11th, 2012

If you know Doris Raymond, vintage specialist and proprietor of The Way We Wore®, then you know the long-running joke about her obsessive compulsive disorder. Luckily her OCD has recently kicked into high gear as she returns from her big bi-annual buying trip with an unprecedented treasure trove of quality vintage clothing and accessories. From pre-1950′s pieces that are hard to come by to an incredible selection of cocktail dresses and evening gowns, The Way We Wore presents an outstanding selection of new arrivals that even includes that oh so elusive vintage Birkin bag.

Doris sets out twice a year to canvass the world for the best in vintage fashion. This season she may just have cemented her status as iconic collector of fashion from the 1920′s by adding to her already significant and pristine selection of beaded and gold lamé flapper dresses.

On top of that, she’s acquired quite a few designer cocktail pieces and evening gowns as well as jewelry, accessories, and chic colorful hats.

As for the pièce de résistance, she has not one but two vintage Birkin bags in superior condition.

We do advise however that if you are interested in these items you must hurry because, when it comes to one-of-a-kind vintage fashion these sorts of things really do go fast!
