Glamorous Gifts For Vintage Lovers

Chelsie Sharp - Tuesday, September 07, 2010

For dedicated followers of vintage fashion, devotees of designs gone by or simply those who want to take a visual journey back in time, these handcrafted artworks are created to pay homage to eras of old.  They make stunning and personalised birthday and wedding gifts or an indulgent and unique addition to your own home.

Add some vintage Parisian glamour to your parlour with the French Vintage Inspired Butterflies. These butterflies can be crafted in both simple and intricate wing designs, from paper featuring vintage illustrations with a sweet ‘50s flowing style. There are drawings of the Eiffel Tower, fashions through the ages, vintage labels, and musical scores on parchment. The butterflies can be cut to either 5 or 7cm in size, and framed as small, medium, large or custom sized works, starting from only $55.

 



Vintage design is enticing for its quality and classic style. Fans of frocks might enjoy the Corset work. This eye catching design was originally created as a gift for a Fashion Editor and it features free-flowing illustrations of vintage corsets cut from black paper. They are mounted on a parchment style card illustrated with images from fashion days gone by. More fashion related pieces coming soon - look out for our handbag and shoe art frames, which will be coming to the store shortly!

            



Bring back memories of childhood with The Classic Story Books artwork. It features a grid of paper butterflies crafted from the pages of classic storybooks. Choose your child’s favourite, or perhaps your own. How about Alice in Wonderland, Noddy or Jack and the Beanstalk? The butterflies’ wings are slightly raised to create a 3D effect. And while the work looks lovely with a white, soft pink or baby blue backing, you can select from a range of patterned or coloured backdrops to suit your own home, or your lucky gift recipient. It’s also possible to suggest other books to have the butterflies cut from or to send in your own books. Alternatively we have a lovely collection here of 1930s books containing illustrations by Mabel Lucie Attwell. 

  

For more vintage inspired works, keep an eye out for the Eiffel Tower and chandelier works soon to hit the shop. And don’t forget, if you have a special idea in mind, we can create custom works for you. The custom designed and framed artwork can be supplied to you from as little as $60 so if you have something in mind, contact me today to discuss your concept and we can start creating together!
