Vintage Reproduction Garters by Previously

By David | Published: June 19, 2010

My wife has started a business making the most excellent garters, and I have been photographing them, helping with the graphics, etc.  They are amazingly well made, and a real treat to admire, and really evoke the retro flapper look.  Here’s a detail:

Photographing them has been fun – not a bad line of work, really.  It has been a nice change of pace from the work I usually do.  Here are a few more:
