Sister store to The Kitschy Crow (vintage & oddities) 🖤
🌹 1950's Souré New York beaded designer handbag 🌹- 6️⃣5️⃣ to your door (yep, free shipping!)
She is beauty, she is grace, she is an intricately beaded handmade purse from 1950's New York that is DYING to be yours!
She's in amazing shape for her age; in fact I'd bargain that she may never have even been used as the original pocket mirror was still inside in the paper packaging! The beads look excellent with no bald spots to be seen AND the embroidered/cross stitch design is clean and looking beautiful! This is truly a work of art more than just a bag, the detail with the use of multimedia materials is something to behold in person- 100% collection worthy!
Here are the basic deetz, ask for full condition details and extra photos or check out Etsy/eBay any time:
♡ Approximately 1940's - 1950's era
♡ Souré brand designer bag & mirror set (2 pieces total)
♡ Like new vintage condition
♡ 13" (widest point)
Another beauty gone! This silky soft vintage Shadowline slip dress sweetie is gracing the home of a new owner, that's right, she is *SOLD!* ✨️
But worry not, my friends! If slips are what you seek, I have them in heaps! I regularly have a variety of slips available on our sites (Etsy & eBay) but I also keep a private stock of unlisted pieces as well! Unlisted doesn't mean unavailable though, feel free to message any time to check on new items or see what we have on our rack that hasn't been shown - I can send photos based on size, style, etc; just ask!

*SOLD!* 1960's-1970's rainbow beads 🌈✨️
I just like to imagine the cool cat that may have worn these for a festival or as a layering piece for a fun OG hippie outfit. It's such an interesting idea to think about the origins of vintage and antique pieces and who wore them first; who were they? Were they as cool as I imagine? I just know they had to be!
Super excited that these beads got sold before Pride, too!
Okay but can you imagine this as a garter though? 👀

1990's Vera Wang chocolate brown taffeta maxi skirt 😍😍😍
This absolutely KILLER runway edition BADDIE is a steal at 6️⃣0️⃣ shipped! (Yes - that means free shipping!)
Pictures absolutely cannot do her justice, she is such a beautiful, rich chocolate color with a nice shift in the light since she has a full taffeta outer shell; I wish I had had a model for this piece because the hip hugging shape with the long wide skirt is just 🥴🥴🥴 too good, I'm telling you!
Depending on your height, this piece can be ankle length, floor length, OR have a slight train effect that you can see on the mannequin ✨️

I got this absolutely killer little guy recently on trade with .and.heron and Mari absolutely NAILED it! I simply could not have asked for a better tattoo; she worked so hard to bring my vision to life and I will cherish him forever 🖤
Swipe 👉 to see the sweet oddities display we traded for! It's a custom Ormolu casket display with dried jasmine, a fox paw, and honey calcite & citrine pieces ✨️ Easily one of my favorite pieces to date and I'm so happy to have it residing with a cool new friend!

Absolutely living for this vintage Lieba scarf clip today 😍
Only $4️⃣ + 📦
The geometric pattern on the solid silver tone reminds me heavily of Native American jewelry and some of the designs you often see with it and other similarly styled pieces, like South Western replicas. It's so simple, but the way it catches and reflects light is just gorgeous!
I could easily see this being a great accessory for a minimalist goth or Western babe ✨️
I really want to try these on 😍 I know it's not *meant* to be practical, but please 🥺

We're getting closer! Mark your (mayan) calendars! The Velvet Crow officially has its first drop in the final editing stages! First batch listings will be posted next week 🤞
In the meantime, take a break with us and check out this absolutely rad sterling silver handmade bracelet sold at
Solid sterling Mayan calendar pendant, handmade sterling chain links, and way too unique to pass up on! I grabbed this neat piece from a local auction; would you have too? 👀
The first piece of clothing I ever sold- a beautiful vintage coquette princess dream 🎀
This piece was a stunning formal gown with tons of sweet lace, pickups, and dainty bow accents that I went absolutely nuts for when I saw it listed at an estate sale. It was likely used for a prom, bridal, or bridesmaids dress somewhere around the late mid-century to the early 80's.
Just look at those details! 😍 this dress sold for under $40, if that gives you any indication of how seriously we take the phrase "vintage made affordable!"
Sold via our sister store
It's February, and you know what that means- red and pink and beauty abound! 🌹
