Fripperies, frippery… all the things we were taught as children never to be. Like pretentious, ostentatious, a show off, laughing about with a nonessential aire, well that’s fripperies and girls all over… I’m Joking, we wallow in the world of frippery and grace from an ancient and old time where dressing up and being fancy was the daily duty, not to be looked down upon.
Where tea was not only from China but drunk in china, where tea and scones were not for a weekend holiday and cafe by the sea but served at home by the maid in our midst. A time when dressing up wasn’t just for boys and girls for Ladies and the Gentry to give as gifts to one and another, to feel valued and loved.
This is the exact reason why fripperies have come back to play with us and why the occasion they are best meant for are as bridal accessories, wedding gifts and bridal wear but not only at these times. Many more people are setting themselves apart from normal fashion and finding themselves going back in time with vintage fripperies and merchandise.
The kind of jewellery and clothes that children play with but for adults, like diamante key rings, dolly purses, festival bags and pretty decorated umbrellas. And for men too; Union Jack wash bags, bulldog cufflinks, collar stiffners and good old mugs for teas.
Ornate clothing will never go out of fashion when it comes to the Bride and Groom and their wedding day and that’s how it should be, fripperies all round and Ladies and Gentleman recalling an era that has past but that doesn’t need to be forgotten.
Fripperies and suitable merchandise, Ma’am and Sir, are just around the corner with all the information pertaining to your needs and requirements suitably found within.
