Jemima Kirke Instagram – I’ve been diligently collecting vintage clothing since I was 12. And Ive been hoarding children’s vintage for almost as long. Now it is time. It is without shame that I present to you my only hobby, my least destructive addiction, my niche obsession ORPHAN DARLING.
1940s knit sweaters. Loved-in Lee overalls, red hoodies with metal zippers and sun stains, printed dresses harkening us back to Amish people, baby gowns that beg the question “who would ever put a baby in this?” T-shirts so tiny and magical you don’t know whether to frame them or trash ‘em. Think dust bowl meets tea time at the Plaza.
Think the ET kids meet Sara of The Secret Garden.
Think Charlie Chaplin’s “The Kid” meets Anastasia.
Does “single stitch” mean anything to anyone anymore? “Hand sewn,” “Dead stock Carter’s,” “baby bunting”, “metal zipper,” “hook and eye,” “Davy Crockett?”
Admit to yourself that when your child looks adorable you love them JUST A TINY BIT more
And throw down.
If you’re lucky some items will fit you.
If you’re blessed your child will wear them.
