Lovely vintage label discovery today from the firm of (unknown to me) W R Bollen and Co of Collins Street, Melbourne #jfn_labellover #jfn_labellove #vintagelabel #wrbollenandco #bollen #fontlove (at Footscray, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoZFLsEpqSU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Vintage label love from this belted tradesmen (ahem) coat, now available at @mrsmartmelbourne. I love old Australian work wear and I must admit, until now, I’d never come across this iteration! #jfn_labellover #vintagelabel #vintagelabellove #yakka #mrsmartmelbourne #lostandfoundmarket #brunswickstreet #fitzroy #mrsmart_ozworkwear #vintageaustralianworkwear (at Lost and Found Market) https://www.instagram.com/p/CksI4IAJSmr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Another beautifully designed vintage label referring to one of Melbourne’s great and somewhat lost department store Buckley’s (aka Buckley and Nunn). Some great fonts here too! #jfn_buckleyandnunn #jfn_labellover #jfn_labellove #vintagelabel #fontlove #ernesthiller #buckleys #buckleyandnunn #buckleysmensstore (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch_72CTJlKB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Always love discovering new (to me) vintage fashion houses/labels. This one belonged to an evening suit at @goodbyes Collingwood. I guess it could be a precursor to @ferrari_formalwear_and_bridal aka Spurling Formal Hire. Love the font too! #jfn_labellover #jfn_labellove #fontlove #vintagelabel #scovellandspurling #footscray #jfn_wayoutwest (at Goodbyes) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgwE2rPJmG1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
This is possibly one of my most favourite label designs, from the British fashion house @baracuta, known mostly for their cropped jackets but this particular one was attached to a rather splendid vintage full-length trench coat which flew out of @mrsmartmelbourne at @lostandfoundmarket earlier today (so quickly in fact I didn’t even have a chance to take a photo of the whole item)! #reducereuserecycle #baracuta #jfn_labellover #jfn_labellove #vintagelabels #mrsmartmelbourne #lostandfoundmarket #brunswickstreet #fitzroy #jfn_fitzroyalty (at Lost and Found Market) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfOHccqppne/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Sadly I have no idea who was behind all the superb graphic design for long-gone Melbourne-based department store Buckley & Nunn but I’m constantly impressed with each and every discovery! Maybe the brilliant @rmitdesignarchives might know… #jfn_buckleyandnunn #jfn_labellover #jfn_labellove #buckleyandnunn #buckleyandnunnlimited #departmentstores #melbournedepartmentstores (at Preston, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeiP6Ghplyd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Some more vintage label love today. This one from legendary Ball & Welch Ltd department store and spotted the other day on a vintage men’s robe at St Marks Recycled on Smith Street, Collingwood. #jfn_labellover #jfn_labellove #vintagelabel #jfn_ballandwelch #jfn_melbourne_departmentstores #stmarksrecycled #smithstreet #collingwood (at St.Marks Recycled) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdK_k8jJH7P/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
