ILV Temporary Boutique - Petit Opening

An amazing night with live music, a petit vintage fashion show, and as a last surprise; an opera singer, singing from our courtyard balcony.

We're planing more ILV Evenings like this one, but then, with some nice discounts. Keep an eye on the newsletter!

ILV Temporary Boutique Amsterdam

As you may have noticed on our website, we opened an ILV Boutique (and that is why our blog wasn't active for a while, sorry about that).

Temporary, as in 3 months, after that we will decide whether we continue on the Herenstraat, or elsewhere.

For now, you are welcome to experience the ILV Dreams in the coziest neighbourhood of Amsterdam; the Jordaan.

Our doors are open everyday except tuesday from 11.00 t0 18.00. Saturday and sunday to 17.30.
And stop by when you're in the neighbourhood at any time, even at night, we sometimes open up our doors after the regular visitingtimes.

Love en (en)joy,

Faranak.

Our lovely model Chloe always knows how to create tough looks with a feminine touch.

November, 1922

When journals were still adorable, priced only twenty cents, and full of beautiful hand-drawn images...

The Litte Details.

The lady is cute, but notice the little boy and gentleman on the back. What were they doing? Looks like some kind of bad stomach ache...

Une petite bouchée?

I hope it brings a bit of the La Belle Vie home to you all…

A lost and found photograph, brought to life again by showing it to the world once more. Plus, are there better swimsuits than the original ones from the fifties? At ILV, we don't believe so.
