SF Bay Area Alert: SF vintage/deadstock knitwear show.

[magneto]

[Apologies if this should go under "Events"--feel free to move it or ask me to do so].

I thought some of the Bay Area ladies might be interested in a vintage knitwear exhibit and trunk show in San Francisco this upcoming weekend (Aug. 9-12). If interested in going to the opening reception on Thursday the 9th, please note you should RSVP by tomorrow (Aug. 7); RSVP instructions, location and more info are on this webpage:
http://www.dwr.com/studios/sanfranciscofillmore

Background info also from website:
"Ohio Knitting Mills (ohioknittingmills.com)offers unique virgin vintage knitwear made from 1947-74. Made at the historic Cleveland, Ohio mill, this rare collection of never worn and one-of-a-kind fashion design artifacts will be shown for the very first time in the Bay Area. Join us for a preview reception, followed by a three-day trunk show. [...] If you can't join us for the opening reception, stop in during the weekend to see these rare vintage pieces. Refreshments will be served during the preview reception, including Trumer Pils beer."

Anyone who can say no to vintage clothes *and* beer is a better person than I ;^)

-Kind regards,
magneto

Darn for missing the show, though.

Great idea! Would meeting-up on Saturday afternoon (it's open from 11 a.m.-7) work for other ladies? It being Fillmore Street, there are many cafes and drinkeries/eateries we could choose from. That part of Fillmore also has several "nicer" type thrift and consignment stores (like the Junior League and Symphony(?) ones) that could be visited also.

 

[Lady Day]

Sounds like a P L A N !

Sooooo.... whos with us!

[Katie Brookes]

[Katie Brookes]

we should do something when you two out-of-town ladies make it to the city too, that would be fun

 

[ssubialdea]

katiebrooks that would be fun. I'll be in town the 16, leaving the 20th. Any events already going on that we could do a meetup at? Most of my evenings are planned (somewhat) I plan on exploring and shopping (see my vintage clothing thread) during the day.

 

[Miss Dottie]

Oh my! I just found out about this and my parents are in town that weekend! Perhaps I'll have to pay hookey from work Friday and check this out!

Thanks for the heads up Magneto--or should we say Mrs. Magneto!

 

[Katie Brookes]

so i went to the opening on Thurs., some interesting stuff... a bit pricey, and not as old as i hoped, but some really cool stuff. worth checking out!

 

[Lady Day]

Well, Magneto and I are gonna meet up there at 2pm if any of you ladies want to join us

Yes, just look for the 2 stylish ladies sauntering into the nearby thrift stores and/or cocktail dispensaries

Indeed, it would! I hope I can have access and time to this website (or a computer rather), so if something does indeed occur, I can actually know!
