Polka dots add whimsy to your look, day or night, summer or winter, bold or subtle.  It’s hard to take yourself too seriously when you’re wearing polka dots.  Repeatedly on trend, polka dot apparel is an excellent addition to your permanent wardrobe.  Here are some OgoVintage polka dot items, some available now on the etsy shop or ebay store, some available directly through the website (email Ogo to stake your claim)  and  some are past favorites, now in the possession of a lucky new owner.

Kay Cosserat knitwear at the V&A Museum in London and at OgoVintage

Written by ogo on . Posted in Cozy Chic Sweaters, Exquisite Ensembles

Once in awhile a design talent stands out from the rest, and continues to garner recognition, despite the too-early demise of the esteemed designer.  Such is the case with the British textile and knitwear designer, Kay Cosserat, who tragically passed away at an early age, leaving far too few examples of her striking knitwear designs.  The Victoria and Albert Museum in London has several items of Kay Cosserat knitwear in their permanent costume collection.  Kay Cosserat was a member of the British Royal Designers of Industry.  OgoVintage is fortunate to have a 3 piece Kay Cosserat ensemble, with a full skirt, sweater top, and thick, double layer sweater coat, available on the OgoVintage etsy shop.  Link to the OgoVintage etsy shop listing:
