The Manufacturer
The Fox Collection is a vintage clothing brand known for its high-quality knitwear and sweaters. The brand, active primarily during the late 20th century, was recognized for producing stylish and durable clothing. Despite limited detailed historical information, The Fox Collection was noted for its commitment to premium materials and craftsmanship.
The Piece
The V-neck sweater from The Fox Collection, made in Hong Kong, is a classic example of the brand's vintage offerings. This sweater is known for its soft, 100% cotton material and its elegant colorways, including blue, beige, and white. The piece reflects the brand's dedication to both comfort and style. The "Made in Hong Kong" label indicates production during a period when Hong Kong was a major hub for quality garment manufacturing.
The Style
V-neck sweaters became particularly popular in the 1980s and 1990s due to their versatility and sophisticated look. They were often worn both casually and in more formal settings, thanks to their flattering neckline and ease of layering. The style was favored for its clean lines and ability to complement various outfits, from business attire to casual wear.

What Makes it Vintage?
- Made in Hong Kong
Clothes are no longer made in Hong Kong as it technically no longer exists (as of 1997)—making this piece an extinct breed. Hong Kong began rapidly industrializing in the 1960s, leading to US clothing importation coming primarily from Korea and Hong Kong until the 1980s. The shift away from Hong Kong-made clothes to China, India, and Taiwan was not until this time.
- Single Tag
The double tag was common by the end of the 90s, so clothes with only one tag indicate a pre-2000s manufacturing.
- Embroidered Tag
Embroidered tags have become a trademark of vintage pieces since companies began to print tags in order to cut costs in the 80s and 90s.
Each of our vintage pieces comes with a handwritten, customized, and strung card-stock tag of the piece's background and vintage appeal.
