The soul stays with you as you make a new story for the piece you have discovered. Where will you take it and where will it take you? We feel that the color of each piece is an aura. The color radiates an energy that people will feel when it enters the room. What mood was a person in when they wore it? Where were they going, what would they do, and what feeling surrounded them? When wearing vintag
e garments we get to share that energy and become a sort of family with those that wore before , that spans decades. We have a connection though it doesn't even include a name. Will you alter your find to make a new statement giving it an exciting second life or will you celebrate it's timelessness by leaving it completely the same? By adding or taking from the garment you may be able to speak louder to a new generation, encouraging them to take place in the tale. By leaving it the same you may enlighten those around you giving knowledge from paths taken long ago. Each vintage piece has a wiseness that far surpasses that of newly manufactured clothing. It tells us things only learned in years of experience. As you feel the texture of it against your skin or feel the sensation of the fabric brush against something in the world, you are living in the moment, but you may wonder what moments that fabric has had before. One of the many joys of wearing vintage. Use your newly found treasure to blaze a trail and continue a proudly told story.
