Two French shop bags advertising the Vitos stocking repair service. They come from a time when a woman would have had her nylon stockings repaired when they laddered as they were so expensive to buy.
All the wording is in French and promotes the benefits of a fast and reliable stocking mending service.
At the base of the bag is an advert for Lux soap flakes as being the best way to wash your stockings and to extend their life. I assume that the big space in the middle is where the shops offering the service were meant to print their name.
There is nothing to give a date but looking at the illustration I would think they date from the 1940's or 50's.
Each bag is 22.5 x 15.5cm, with the advert on one side, the other side is blank except for a tiny Sacor motif, which I assume was the bag manufacturer.
The bags are in almost perfect condition, they have probably been stored away for the past 60 or more years.
Two bags will be sent for each purchase.
Please note. I do my best to accurately photograph and describe the condition of the items for sale, including any minor defects but all pieces are vintage and have had previous lives and so may have minor flaws.
