VPOD: Vintage 1960s Lanson Print Raincoat & Labeling Fraud

Uh-oh!

A class action lawsuit was filed here in California this week against Kiss My Face and about two dozen other cosmetic manufacturers. Seems it’s a bit of a no-no out here to call your cosmetics organic unless they contain at least 70% organic ingredients.

But that’s not the only place where there’s some labeling hijinks happening.

Earlier this week, I tweeted and facebooked a wonderful article that warns about label switching on vintage clothing garments. While there are only a handful of dishonest vintage sellers prowling the hallways of the worldwide web and playing these unethical games , it pays to be an informed and watchful consumer.

I hope you’ll take the time to read the entire article by Jody Steinman of Couture Allure to really gain some insight into this issue and learn how to protect yourself from this occasional bait-and-switch tactic.

And while you’re over at Couture Allure, be sure to check out today’s VPOD.

I just love this vintage 1960s Lanson raincoat for its quilted taffeta fabric and the ultra-charming print of curved-horn antelopes. And believe me, this baby would in a package on its way to me right now if only it was smaller or my chest was bigger.

But it’s a fantastic find for a better-endowed vintage fashionista!

Available at Couture Allure.

    Thank you for featuring this coat today. I absolutely love the whimsy of the fabric and have never seen anything like it before. And thanks for sharing my article about label switching. It remains the most commented on post on my blog, even after 1 1/2 years. You’re the best Mary!
