All rights reserved About Us. I could look at these all day. Ooohhh, I'm a huge Lana Lobell fan as well and own a couple of these mid-century fashion daydreams myself. I think it would be amazing if a publishing house got a hold of a bunch and could get the rights to reprint them in a collection, akin to the well known Sears catalog books that have been around for quite a few years now.
Choice Designer Clothes. I wanted to thank you for this great read!! I definitely enjoying every little bit of it I have you bookmarked to check out new stuff you post. The Lana Lobell catalog was first launched in by a dress store owner by the name of Boris Leavitt. He named it after his daughter and sent them out via his shop.
When I first came across the Lana Lobell catalog my jaw dropped. I never thought I would find one source that epitimized everything I loved about fashion. The clothes are pretty and feminine, as well as wearable and dare I say comfy looking?
