"Lanz Originals"- Vintage Dresses

Deja Vu Vintage Finery has started on the right foot this new season! We just consigned some amazing and in great condition, Lanz Original, mid century vintage dresses. We currently have eight Lanz dresses in stock with us today. We have been gaining positive and wonderful responses with our new dresses and have sold many others as well this past month. 

A brief background on the Lanz Original dresses, Lanz was started in Salzburg, Austria in 1922, by Josef Lanz and Fritz Mahler. Before fashion, Lanz specialized in ski wear and supplied traditional folkwear costumes for Austrians attending the Salzburg music Festival (think The Sound of Music.) They noted their costumes were also bought by tourists (Americans) traveling to Austria in the 1920s and early 1930s. During the mid 30's Lanz relocated to New York, leaving the company there in the hands of other family members. He than opened a new branch of the business in 1936. Lanz began to expand their business by creating fashions that were inspired by traditional Austrian folk-wear, but followed the lines of current fashions.

Lanz of California was established in the 1940s, and they began to manufacture Austrian-inspired clothing in the US. By the early 1950s, the Lanz of California label was owned by Nornie and Werner Scharff, and the European and American companies were totally independent of one another. By 1978, there were two Lanz companies in the US, Lanz Originals, which was still making dresses, and Lanz of Salzburg, a sleepwear maker. Around 2001, Lanz Originals stopped production.

Since Lanz has stopped production making dresses, Deja Vu Vintage finery has the following in stock.

Ready for Summer with Lilly Pulitzer Style!!

Summer is here and at DejaVu Vintage Finery in Palms Springs, We are gearing up with a wonderful selection of summer vintage dresses.

One of our favorite designers of these great retro summer shifts, is Lily Pulitzer, known for her bright colorful sleeveless dresses of the 1950’s and 1960’s.  Lilly didn’t start out as a dress designer, but fate and creativity sent her in a direction as a style icon that she never expected.

Lilly and Peter Pulitzer settled in Palm Beach, Florida, shortly after their marriage in the early 1950’s. Peter owned several Florida citrus groves.

Lilly opened a juice stand in Palm Beach Florida where she decided to make colorful Sleeveless dresses for herself  to hide the stains. These sleeveless shift dresses made of bright, colorful printed cotton were admired by her customers. so she produced more in order to sell them at her juice stand. Eventually, she was selling more dresses than juice, and decided to focus on designing and selling what had become known as her "Lillys".

Lilly's schoolmate Jacqueline Kennedy (former first lady) wore one of the dresses while on vacation. After Jacqueline was photographed, people everywhere wanted the dresses designed by Lilly.

In 1959, Lilly became president of her own company, Lilly Pulitzer, Inc. The company's main factory was located in Miami, Florida .From the 1960s to the early 1980s, Lilly's bright, colorful clothes were very popular, worn by elites such as First Lady Jackie Kennedy and her daughter Caroline, and members of the Rockefeller, Vanderbilt and Whitney families. In 1984 Lilly retired, closing down her entire clothing operation.

In 1993, the rights to the brand were purchased by Sugartown Worldwide, Inc.

Lilly is not involved in the day to day administration of the company, but she continues to serve in the role of creative consultant, approving new designs, fabrics, and collections, and branching out into other product lines.

At Deja Vu Vintage Finery, we have multiple styles of the Lilly Pulizter collections in pristine vintage condition. Below is just a glimpse of what we

 currently have in or inverntory! Come stop by Deja Vu to see the complete collection by Lilly Pulitzer.

If you see any dressesyou would like us to put on hold or would like to purchase, please call the store!
