Halifax, West Yorkshire United Kingdom (PressExposure) February 02, 2011 -- For the girl with every Mad Men box set, new online store VanRoe Compacts may have the perfect Valentines gift. Specialising in vintage powder compacts that fit modern powders, they stock the most glamorous designs from the 1950s to 1970s. All would delight an aspiring Joan Holloway or the new Mrs Draper.
Each VanRoe vintage powder compact is sourced by stylist Jane Johnston from antiques auctions and markets around the world. The compacts are restored, professionally cleaned and their history lovingly researched.
"The stories behind these vintage powder compacts could make for a Mad Men season!" Jane said. "We're talking forgotten super brands, bombed factories, promotion by film stars and Miss England 1958."
"I love bringing these glamorous pieces back to life for today's women, then matching them with modern powders that fit perfectly."
To highlight this vintage Valentine's environmental credentials, Jane presents every compact in gorgeous responsible packaging. Think the glamour of Diana Dors in a 100% recycled box, tied with a fuchsia pink wood pulp ribbon. Peggy Olson would be proud.
