Over 30 dealers will offer quality vintage clothing, accessores, jewelry and textiles at the Danbury, CT, PAL on the weekend of April 5, 6, '08. Professionally managed by Cord Shows Ltd. (since 1970)
Spring is the time for a new fashion season but for many people, new can mean used and recycled AND VINTAGE. The proof of this is when the Vintage Clothing, Accessories, Textiles and Jewelry Show and Sale returns for the 2nd year to the Police Athletic League Building, 25 Hayestown Road in Danbury, CT (06811). There will more than thirty booths brimming with yesterday’s styles, now today’s latest fashion.
All ages and both men and women will find one of a kind items to make them stand out in a crowd. A prime example of this occurred at the last Oscar ceremony when one of the stars was asked, “whom are you wearing?” The reply was that she was wearing “a one-of-a-kind vintage dress.” The show will be held on April 5th and 6th from 10 AM – 5 PM. The PAL Building is just a short distance from I-84 Eastbound exit 5, Westbound exit 6 (signs will be posted).
By train, the Danbury Railroad Station is only 2.6 miles from the show. Take the Metro-North Danbury Line and call ahead for a taxi, 203-792-8294. Admission is $6 (under 13 free). One admission is good for return visits and food will be available by Riverfront Deli of Valhalla, NY.
Dealers attending will be offering nothing newer than the 1980s. A sampling includes What Was is Vintage, Merrick, NY, presenting a booth of antique costume jewelry, Bakelite, vintage clothing and accessories such as hats, handbags, eyewear, shoes, coats, jackets, dresses, sweaters, men’s hats, ties and cufflinks. Cherished Treasures will come from Newtown, CT, bringing clothes from the 1940’s – 60’, vintage buttons, sewing items and fabric, and vintage hankies.
Also attending will be Funky Fashions from Brick, NJ; The Town Peddler, New Rochelle, NY; and Vintage Couture Jewelry offering clothing, scarves, chain belts, purses, couture shoes and hats from Easton, CT.

What would we be without the top Australian men’s apparel companies and Australian fashion designers? It seems like just yesterday that our region was recognized for importing global fashion trends and barely managing to create its own unique looks. But, owing to the advent of several fantastic home-grown brands over the last two decades, that has all changed.
