We’re pleased to present our latest collection of hand-painted archival vintage, as part of our ongoing series in collaboration with Philadelphia-based artist Shannon Retseck. Referencing historical decorative motifs and fashion icons of the early 70s (George Harrison, Bianca Jagger, Jimi Hendrix, Marc Bolan, Jane Birkin, to name a few), we’ve reimagined some of our most treasured vintage items, giving them new life to truly spectacular effect.

This incredibly chic late 1970s Valentino creme silk blouse with pleated bib has been adorned with Shannon’s newest motif—a painterly cherry print, inspired by spring, french tapestries, 90s cheek, and a charm of abundance.

Note: These are vintage items that have been meticulously hand-painted, with the artist considering every square-inch of the textile, as well as being professionally cleaned. So while they are in excellent, refurbished condition, they are not new and may feature slight “imperfections” that add to the uniqueness of the item.
