Rainy Art Deco weekend

Denise from Marewa

My previous post was about knitwear which may be needed this year.

It has rained on Art Deco weekend before and since this weekend has been unNapierlike, I thought I'd better do a bad weather post.

Raincoats and trenchcoats and umbrellas similar to what we have today. The clear plastic umbrellas that we can buy in the 1-2-3 shops were available from the mid-late 30s. If it's cool too, ladies and girls will want a beret and even wool gloves. Animal prints became popular from 1932 onwards.
