Welcome to the Vintage Fashion Guild's Label Resource. Here you'll find a large collection of vintage clothing label images, complete with biographies and company histories for each label.
We are working hard to make sure this resource is as comprehensive as possible. It is a work in progress. Its growth depends upon contributions of labels, and any ommissions are due to the fact that examples of many designers' work are scarce. We welcome contributions of photographs of labels that are not represented on the resource. Donation information can be found in our Label Forum.
This resource is to be used only as an educational tool, and is not intended as a value guide. Inclusion of a label in the resource is not an indication of value, as garments vary greatly in value depending on many factors. Another point that needs to be considered by users is that some companies used the same label for many years, and just because the garment used on the label resource is a certain date does not mean that all garments with the same label are the same date.
The labels included have been carefully researched, we have worked hard to insure that all information is correct. If a mistake should be found, we would greatly appreciate access to your information so the resource can be corrected.
We provide the resource at no cost to the vintage community, and we are pleased when people find it useful. We do ask that if you use the resource or copy parts of it on another site (such as eBay) that you credit VFG in the following way: "Information courtesy of The VintageFashionGuild Label Resource" or "Information courtesy of Contributor'sName/the VintageFashionGuild Label Resource."
Please note that the author of the biography owns the copyright to the work, and that the copyright is assigned to the VFG. In order to be in compliance with copyright law, you must credit all copyrighted work.

One can never have too many vintage reference books and it is tempting to buy them by the cartload. But are they all useful buys? Here our members review their own purchases and share their personal opinions to help you decide whether you’d like your own copy too.
The title of each book is a link to Amazon.com, where you can purchase the book being reviewed.
