Softly She Looks – Original Vintage Portrait Set with Curated Fragments

Softly She Looks – Original Vintage Portrait Set with Curated Fragments

£24.00

An original face from the past, serene and timeless. Each set centres around a genuine hand-tinted 1920’s photograph paired with delicate vintage materials.

“Softly She Looks” is a gentle nod to vintage femininity and forgotten stories. Each set features one authentic hand-tinted photograph from the 1920’s, chosen from a small cache of originals. These portraits were once kept in albums or tucked in drawers – intimate, often unsigned, and softly coloured by hand.

Your set includes one original portrait (not a reproduction) carefully paired with vintage fragments: floral cloth scraps, ribbon, wallpaper or lace in a palette that reflects the tone and tenderness of these forgotten sitters.

• Includes one original hand-tinted vintage portrait photograph
• Accompanied by a curated mix of vintage elements such as floral textiles, lace, ribbon, paper scraps, or trims
• Colour palette centres around soft pastels, blush tones, and gentle neutrals
• Each set is individually assembled and unique
• Limited edition of 4 sets

A tender fragment to stitch into your story, or simply keep close.

About the Collection’s Muse

I found her at a market, framed beside a photograph of her husband.

I didn’t have the funds for both, and though it felt sad to separate them, there was something about her gaze, soft, composed, quietly luminous, that stayed with me.

She became the muse for Softly She Looks.

While her portrait isn’t part of the sets, she guided the tone and palette: soft florals, faded ribbon, gentle pinks and sepia browns.

This collection is a tribute to her and the many unnamed women whose images once rested on mantelpieces and dresser tops.
