From my grandmother's collection comes this lovely vintage copy of Brigitte magazine, Issue 1, dated 4 January 1966.
A wonderful piece of 1960s German fashion and lifestyle history, featuring the bright and colourful cover illustration shown in the photographs. Inside are articles on fashion, beauty, cosmetics, hairstyles, sewing, crafts, relationships, home life and contemporary culture of the era.
The contents page shows features including:
Fasching (Carnival) fashions
Beauty and skincare articles
Hairdressing and cosmetics features
Sewing and dressmaking patterns
Advice columns and readers' letters
1960s lifestyle and family features
I like to imagine my grandmother carefully storing magazines such as this away for decades, preserving a fascinating snapshot of everyday life in mid-1960s Europe. Today it survives as a charming collectible for fashion historians, magazine collectors, costume researchers or anyone interested in vintage German publications.
Decade: 1960s
Condition Vintage used condition with age-related wear, marks and handling wear consistent with age. Please study all photographs carefully as they form part of the description.

Own a little piece of history ❤️

I’m currently selling my grandmother’s incredible lifetime collection of souvenirs and antiques to help fund a new roof and lovingly restore her beautiful home 🏠.

She was an air hostess in the 1940s and 50s, travelling the world and bringing back unique pieces from every corner ✈️. She later married my grandfather — the pilot she fell in love with in the skies — and together they continued collecting unusual, charming, and historic items.

In the 1960s she became an antiques dealer in her own right, running her business with passion right up until she retired at the grand age of 92.

Now I’m carefully sorting through everything she treasured, hoping these pieces bring you the same joy and nostalgia they brought to my grandparents for so many decades.

Thank you so much for looking — it means the world. 💛
