Heirloom Amalgam is opening a showroom in Recent York City, however it’s not only one other showroom. As a substitute, the approach to life brand created by married couple Scott and Amy Burr will use the space to showcase greater than 1,000 pieces of vintage apparel from their private collection.
Pieces in the gathering date back to the mid- to late-19th century and include all the pieces from workwear and sportswear to limited-edition government-issued military jackets and parkas for the Navy, Air Force, Army and Marines within the U.S. and repair agencies in Canada. The showroom will even include rock T-shirts and other popular culture pieces.
The Burrs have been curating museum-quality vintage pieces for greater than 15 years.
“Necessity has at all times been the mother of invention,” said Scott Burr, “and seeing how wartime inspired a few of the most interesting innovations in clothing construction continues to fascinate me.”
His passion for collecting vintage pieces began as a toddler, due to his grandfather who was a World War II veteran. After his grandfather’s death, he decided to learn as much about this history as possible and began buying pieces at auctions and estate sales in addition to through private sales.
The Heirloom Amalgam showroom at 36 Laight Street in Recent York might be open to fashion industry professionals, stylists and editors by appointment. Pricing is accessible upon request.
“We’re excited to share our collection we began as a passion project to the larger fashion community,” said Scott Burr. “Each garment that we collect has a story and each bit of clothing is created by artisans that don’t get the eye they deserve. Our goal for the showroom is to create an area where designers and creatives can find pieces, artwork and details from history for inspiration and interpretation for the longer term.”
Along with the vintage collection, the showroom will even show the brand’s Archetype Collection of core basics in addition to some more fashion-forward seasonal pieces for men and girls.
