We bought a pile of vintage Ideal Home magazines recently. We were delighted with them in their own right, but in amongst them was a lovely copy of Vogue which was a real bonus.

It dates from February 1962 – and priced at 2’6!

These vintage Vogues are very collectable and it’s easy to see why.

The fashion is obviously the real draw – gorgeous clothes, shoes, jewellery, hair & make up from the era.

Looks which still look very current over 40 years later!

There are other great features – the fabulous new mini in its early years of production…

…and introducing pasta – now arriving on UK shores!

There are some genius illustrations too – the header for Vogue Travel is good enough to frame.

These vintage magazines really are a great read – snap them up if you see them… and take a second look in that dusty pile of National Geographics in the corner of the charity shop – there might be a vintage Vogue lurking halfway down!
