BRANDS! Tell us about the clothing labels, (brands) and which companies or shops sell them: Atmosphere, George, St Michael, Tu - from which shop?


 

LABELS - and stores which sell them

Look inside a garment and you will see a label. This tells you where you bought the garment. If the garment is second hand, the label tells you where the item was originally bought. You can then buy other items to match, or others with the same cut or sizing. You might find shops or online sellers have similar current, or vintage items.

Labels are useful. Why are the labels left on?

1 The wearer never thought of removing it.

2 The label is very firmly stitched on.

3 The label is handy to help you buy a matching item.

4 The label is essential if you wish to return the item intact for a refund.

5 The label can be used to hand the garment on a hook, or secure it on a hanger so it does not slip sideways.

6 The wearer is proud of the garment and wishes others to see it.

7 Out of respect to the designer to preserve their identity.

8 To help get a good price when selling it second hand.

9 To identify the item if it is lost stolen or in a heap such as outdoor clothes in a pile at a party, umbrellas left in a rack in the front of a cafe or shop, or you have sent a spouse to fetch it, from left luggage in a suitcase, or you are phoning a restaurant to ask if they have your missing swimsuit or glove or umbrella or jacket. To identify stolen goods, on their own, or in a lost or stolen car, to identify yourself as the owner, or the car as yours. to know which of your old items you can throw away, give away to charity and which can be used to raise money for charity or given to a friend or relative.

Why would the label be missing?

1 The label has fallen off. One side of the label detached and rather than sweing back the loose side the wearer pulled off the entire label.

2 The label has been cut off because it irritates the skin. The edge is sealed with a heat gadget which leaves a rough edge which scratches the wearer's neck.

3 The label was showing, in an untidy white piece hanging out at the neck, or visible and distracting on a scarf, or shows that the item is worn inside out by accident or deliberately.

4 The garment is from a major supplier such as marks and Spencer. The garment is sold to outlets or middle men who sell it onone though ebay and other place at a bargain price and the big store does not want the goods returned by an inocent and ignormant customers (such as the recipicient of a gift, or the offspring or executors of somebody deceased or gone overseas)

Pearl brooches on hat paired with M & S sweater with pearls. Dress Post 686 by Angela Lansbury

Image
    Sweater embroidered with mock pearls matches my hat pinned with mock pearl brooches.  I had never worn this pale grey sweater  I thought pale grey was a boring colour and always opted for something brighter such as royal blue or bight red. However, as I re-folded warm winter tops to fit them into my crammed dresser unit shelves, this fell out. Was the universe sending me a message?  I thought, I don't remember ever wearing it.  I must wear it once. Just for a change.  Snow is falling outside in London. Now is its hour. I looked  at the decoration. Sequins! I had been searching for sequins to wear at New Year. This thick sweater would not match my red solid sequin evening skirt. However, it would match my knitted hat, which bore brooches with mock pearls. The Grey Marl Sweater M & S Collection. Size 14. a mixture of four fabrics, cotton.  As I had anticipated, the garment had pinned inside some spare sequins and pearls and rhinestones....

Stripey Red & White Socks, thigh high, and tights - outfit 679 by Angela Lansbury

Image
  I bought a pair of knee high red and white stripe socks in St Luke's charity shop. At one pound or under, you can't lose much. (Their charity fundraising shops are in NW London in Hatch End, Harrow Weald and elsewhere.) Why did I buy the long socks, in hard to match, garish, childish, stripes - after hesitation and consideration? The Advantages Of Long Socks The  length was attractive, at this time of year. I often need long socks under a midi skirt. For warmth in winter. And not to show bit of bare legs above socks. To co-ordinate colours. Advantages and Disadvantages of Red and White Stripes I like red. It's fun. White can show dirt quickly.  Red and white is a bit restrictive. It will clash with patterns, only go with plain reds and whites. But under a table at dinner or on Zoom nobody else will notice. Nor will I. I will only feel them. If the socks are too tight, you might feel uncomfortable. At night, when you take them off, you might see red indentation lines acr...

I've clothes in every shade and hue Red, orange, pink, purple, green, blue In every style and kind of dress From, Primark, Temu, M & S I love to count, and keep in order Yes, you've guessed it, I'm a hoarder. -ends- Permanent Packing List When I was a busy travel writer, taking at least one trip a month, often two or three times a month, I would keep a suitcase permanently packed with clothes in black, white and red.  My all purpose wheelie bag contained all the things I had regretted not taking on previous trips. CLOTHES & COSMETICS 1 A swimsuit and swimhat. Later I bought a swimsuit with an attached hood. 2 I always had one tank top in case it turned sunny, or I had a stopover somewhere warm. 3 A brimmed hat or baseball cap. 4 A thermal vest, scarf and gloves for chilly nights, air conditioning, breezy boat trips, or trips to another continent with reverse seasons. 5 A couple of scarves, one with gold to convert a plain black or white tee-shirt into an evening out...
