Vintage policy: all vintage items are sold as is. They are special works of art from a time and place when design and quality were standard. These are from Italy. The quality, the concept, and attention to detail are all superb. There may be handmade finishes. I recommend always testing any washing. Some may show light wear but all are new and limited to stock on hand. Usually cool water hand dry is fine if on a garment. No dryer. No hot sun. Test wash them on the fabric first. Some buttons were made in two pieces and may need some adhesive repair at some point which can be easily glued back. If there is a major issue, question etc please feel free to reach out.
Italian Vintage Inspired Floral Sateen Challis
From Max M. kind of a Marimekko inspired print on a silky challis, light, a little texture in the weave. It is 98% opaque. Nothing to worry about, I would make something simple without a lot of pieces in different directions. Summer loose dresses are nice, tiered ruffles will work. Just keep the grain line straight and easy, soft, flowing.

The palette is excellent, lavender, grey, pumpkin, black, chocolate brown, beige, chartreuse.

Italian wool chunky sweater knit. Each panel is 42", 1 1/8 yard - panel seen in the first image. There is a defining line that distinguishes where the panel cuts off.
