Fun Find! - Leon Levin!

The other day I found the cutest pair of shorts, maybe ever!

A little vintage pair of high waisted, pleated, pink and white striped, Leon Levin Shorts! I could tell they were vintage and quality, but I didn't know much about the designer!



Leon Levin started making clothing for women in 1931. He wanted to bring women quality clothing and sportswear, even during the height of the depression. In the 1960's, many women started to play golf. This led to Levin and his designer, Lulu Roody, introducing the Q-skirt or Skort, which instantly became a favorite on the Ladies Professional Golf Tours!

They promoted the brand with brightly colored fun Ads, like this one.


The pair of green shorts all the way to the left in the above ad, might be the exact pair of shorts I found while out thrifting the other day! (Although green, not pink. :)

So here they are! Click on the photo and you can see more information about them, in my Etsy shop!


I really love them! They would absolutely be in my closet instead of my shop if only they were my size!

Hope everyone is having a happy and productive wednesday!

These boots were made for walking

You know what I love? Finding Awesome vintage shoes and boots for a great deal!

These are 1970s ZODIAC Leather Boots, in red, With a 4 inch stacked heel. They also have this great leather braid around the ankle. Boots like this are why I started selling vintage shoes in my shop before any other vintage items.



What do you think? Unfortunately (I could cry!), they are not my size. So I put them in my Etsy Shop! Click the photo to go directly to the boots!

I thought I had a buyer, but that fell through, so I had to blog that there is a second chance to grab these before they're gone for good.

Have a great week!
