Hippie Beautility


1970's Sweet-Orr jeans from an estate sale in Connecticut a few years ago. Lovingly and Bohemianly embroidered with flowers, a rainbow, "Catherine" (Cat) and the Yes and Chicago logos. A near perfect object, with personalization, signs of use, and the golden hat trick of  hippie handicraft, typography, and utility.

I thought you might have found them at my parent's house! I've been enjoying your site. I love that you give some background on the objects you find.

Darling! Would be so groovy w/a plain white tank & some leather sandals.
