<p>[QUOTE="Debora, post: 393094, member: 1476"]Hum... How interesting (but I'm a bit dizzy from all the information.) I'd think David Gordon wasn't a designer but a man who developed a scarf collection for Glentex. The brand had been in existence since 1939 and "David Gordon for Glentex" might have been an effort to target a younger, hipper customer. (The book below, which I can't access, might be helpful; it has a mention of Gordon.) The first two scarves appear to date to the 1970s. The third might be a tad later. (Hard to tell from photograph.) Vollbracht could very well have designed the signed two during his Bendel years. In fact, they might even have been sold at Bendel's. The store was known for its small boutique collections. Of course, you'd need to research yours further to associate it with Vollbracht.</p><p><br /></p><p>Debora</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]136442[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
