(NYTimes) “So many designers are looking back to the past,” says Carrie Sawchuk, owner of My Inheritance, “but we have the originals.” The Upper Montclair boutique is packed with vintage treasures: furs in all colors, lengths and styles, from stoles to Bakelite-buttoned short jackets to dramatic mink, wool swing coats with three-quarter sleeves and fur trim. Sawchuk’s vintage bag collection includes coveted snakeskin and alligator; her trove of jewelry features the grand geometric shapes, now being copied by today’s designers. Nothing’s more now than an Art Deco cuff, she notes. And ‘tis the season for hats. “I half-expect to have women asking me for fedoras,” Sawchuk muses.
