Bobbie Brooks was recognized for its stylish yet practical clothing, catering to the tastes and needs of a broad consumer base.

The Style

This style was favored for its ability to be both playful and chic, making it a staple in casual and business-casual wardrobes.

What Makes it Vintage?
- Made in USA
Policy and trade shifts in the 80s and 90s led to the US manufacturing in developing countries, making US-made clothes almost nonexistent afterwards. American-made clothes are more durable and comfortable as they are made with higher-quality materials and craftsmanship, not to mention that their style is timeless!
- Single Tag
The double tag was common by the end of the 90s, so clothes with only one tag indicate a pre-2000s manufacturing.
Each of our vintage pieces comes with a handwritten, customized, and strung card-stock tag of the piece's background and vintage appeal.
