Over 500 lots of antique and vintage fashion celebrating centuries of craftsmanship, cultural artistry, and wearable design history.

We are proud to present our upcoming Online Only Vintage Fashion Auction on June 13th — a fast-paced, curated sale of over 500 lots bringing together some of the most evocative and collectible pieces in the world of wearable art and textile design.

This auction spans four remarkable categories, each telling its own story.

Antique & Vintage Fashion forms the heart of the sale. From silk evening gowns of the Edwardian era to the bold silhouettes of mid-century American sportswear, these garments document the full arc of fashion history. Whether you are a dedicated collector, a costume designer, or a fashion student seeking inspiration, this is a rare opportunity to own pieces that belong in a museum — and deserve to be worn, studied, and treasured.  Fashion for Men and Women from the 19th and 20th centuries.  

Accessories complete the picture. This sale features a carefully assembled selection of vintage handbags,kid-leather gloves, silk scarves, and statement jewelry. These objects tell the story of how people dressed from head to toe — and how small details could signal status, taste, and identity across the decades.

Ethnic Textiles represent one of the auction's most culturally rich offerings. Drawn from traditions across Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and the Americas, these pieces — suzanis,  resist-dyed batiks, embroidered folk costumes, and ceremonial weavings — represent living design traditions passed down through generations. Each textile carries the mark of the hands that made it and the culture that inspired it.

Inspirational Design Textiles round out the sale with pieces that changed the way the world thought about fabric and form. From Arts & Crafts movement printed cottons to the bold geometric prints of the 1960s and 1970s, these textiles have influenced designers, decorators, and collectors for generations. Whether framed on a wall or repurposed into a new creation, they are as relevant today as when they were first made.

With over 500 lots moving at a fast pace, this is one auction you will want to register for in advance and come prepared to bid. Together, these four categories make this an unmatched opportunity for collectors at every level — whether you are building a fashion archive, decorating a home, or simply seeking a connection to the artistry of the past.

All lots start at $10 with no hidden reserves. Shipping is available. Register & bid today.
