Isabel Wolff Quotes

What I Really Love About Them ... Is The Fact That They Contain Someone's Personal History ... I Find Myself Wondering About Their Lives. I Can Never Look At A Garment ... Without Thinking About The Woman Who Owned It. How Old Was She? Did She Work? Was She Married? Was She Happy? ... I Look At These Exquisite Shoes, And I Imagine The Woman Who Owned Them Rising Out Of Them Or Kissing Someone ... I Look At A Little Hat Like This, I Lift Up The Veil, And I Try To Imagine The Face Beneath It ... When You Buy A Piece Of Vintage Clothing You're Not Just Buying The Fabric And Thread - You're Buying A Piece Of Someone's Past.
