When I saw the signature on the scarf, I knew I had found something special.
Not the Vera scarf that my blog friend Jill at A Little Bit of Everything always mentions that she has found, but an Anne Fogarty designer scarf.
For 50 cents, who could go wrong? It looks (and smells) like it has never been used, but Jill gave me advice about cleaning it. ("I always handwash the scarves when I bring them home, in baby shampoo - I read them somewhere so that's just what I do, then I hang to dry and iron.")
Never heard of Anne Fogarty? After a little detective work, I found a great bio of Anne Fogarty on Fuzzy Lizzie.
And then I found this article The Resurrection of Anne Fogarty published in Curate one week ago! Writer Erin Hazelton has included lots of photos in her article, too.
So Anne Fogarty style clothes are going to try to make a comeback, but I have an original signature scarf probably from the 60's.
A start of a new collection?

Or was this just luck to find something stylish out here in the boondocks?

Those dresses bring back memories. Great find.
Great post, Linda - it's great to find out more info on her.
I'll keep my eyes open for any Anne Fogarty - your scarf is a beauty, I love the signature!!!
Now I know why I'm divorced. I wasn't a well-dressed wife. Congratulations on finding the very pretty scarf.
Love,
