Shop Preview

I recently went on a very successful vintage clothing hunt and will soon be posting all the new goodies I found. Here's a little preview of what's to come in my shop gradually over the next week.

These vintage hand-knit scarf shawls are so soft and comfy yet drape so stylishly over your shoulders. Just the thing for those cool spring evenings when you need a little extra warmth but are sick of wearing a coat or heavy jacket.

This vintage dress is 1970s style at it's very, very best. Love the firework-like pattern on the sheer material. The necklace shown in the photograph is from my second shop, Augenblickphoto.

This vintage 1970s ruffled maxi dress is such a beautiful shade of royal blue. I can't wait for spring to wear such lovely pieces!

This amazing find is very flamenco meets 80s prom dress. It's actually too small for me (can't zip it up in the back) or I would definitely be tempted to keep it.

The dark pink circle folk skirt at the beginning of this post was so popular in my shop and finally sold last week. This lovely find will hopefully soon find a new home too.

And last but not least, this Asian inspired dress, perfect for summer in the year of the dragon!

Happy vintage shopping. :)

Happy Anniversary!

So it’s been exactly a year since I first opened my shop, though not since I’ve been selling.

I had a shop called Schaufenster before this one where I sold a little bit of vintage and a little bit of art and a little bit jewelry. That shop branched off in Curious Knopf, Schaufensterbabe and Augenblick Photo.

But then again, even this shop has changed a lot since I first opened it. Originally I intended to sell vintage buttons, hence the name Curious Knopf, Knopf being the German word for button.

I’ve gone from selling vintage clothing to vintage clothing and housewares to vintage clothing and jewelry.

I like where I am now, focusing mainly on vintage Trachten and other folkloric clothing as well as my own handmade jewelry.

To celebrate I’m offering 15% off of everything storewide until the end of March. Just apply the coupon code oneyearetsy at the time of purchase and the discount will come off automatically. Xoxo :)
