c. 1969 BH Wragge orange and white tweed jacket with a center fornt zipper. BH Wragge was established in 1920 by Bernard H. Wragge. It was acquired by Sidney Wragge in 1931, as a maker of both men's shirts and women's blouses. By the late 1930s, Wragge had developed the idea of separates, and the company produced coordinated blouses, skirts, pants, coats and other pieces that were meant to mix and match. From the late 1930s and into the 1950s, each BH Wragge collection was based on a theme, with the fabrics often designed by famous artists. These clothes were geared toward a young customer, and BH Wragge clothes were very popular with the college set. Toward the end of the 1940s, the company changed its image somewhat, and began doing more dresses and suits. By the 1960s, they were producing evening dresses. The company closed in 1971.

c. 1960s Lovely winter white coat from Jacques Heim’s Paris atelier. There is a size 10 tag in the coat. The coat has a rounded neckline and makes use of darts and tucks for the fit of the upper portion of the coat. The two-part sleeves are glove length. Three large white buttons close the center front of the coat. The lower portion of the coat suggests the cocoon coat of the 1920s. This is achieved with the deeply cut side pleats that hide the slash pockets, drawing in the lower portion of the coat. The coat is lined in winter white rayon. (1899-1967) Jacques Heim was born into a furrier family and started out in the family business designing furs. In 1923 he took over the business, and within a few years had added a couture department. He was an innovator in using cuttings of furs as one would a fabric. Heim's couture house was opened in the Avenue Matignon in Paris in 1930. He also made ready-to-wear, and in 1936 started a line for younger women, Heim Jeunes Filles. In 1946 Heim started his own chain of sportwear boutiques. He was one of the early designers of the bikini, called the Atome, and he was known for his beachwear. In the same year Heim visited the United States in order to establish contracts with several US department stores for which he was to design collections. Another ready-to-wear line, Heim Actualite, was begun in 1950. The House of Heim closed in 1969, two years after the designer's death. Bio Source-Vintage Fashion Guild

C. 1960s Tina Lesser red silk chiffon skirt with purple and gold print and gold thread looped embroidery. Along the bottom of the skirt is a bright green silk satin panel layered with white tulle and gold trim. Matching green satin waistband and lined in red China Silk. Bio: Tina Leser was an early and very successful proponent of an American design aesthetic inspired by textiles and clothing from non-Western cultures. She traveled through Asia, India, and Africa as a child, and lived in Hawaii after her first marriage in 1931, which may explain the ease with which she later adapted influences from those areas into her designs. Although she is remembered today primarily for this gift, her success was not confined to that genre, but also encompassed references to other folk and historical traditions.
