From my grandmother's collection comes this attractive vintage copy of Brigitte magazine, Heft 9, dated 23 April 1968.
With its striking late-1960s fashion cover featuring vibrant colours and classic mod styling, this issue captures the optimism and changing fashions of the era. Inside are fashion features, beauty advice, home and lifestyle articles, sewing patterns, reader correspondence and social commentary from West Germany during the 1960s.
Contents include:
Spring and summer fashion features
Beauty and style advice
Brigitte Extra sewing models and dressmaking patterns
Home and household articles
Relationships and family features
Reader letters and advice columns
1960s lifestyle and culture articles
I always enjoy handling magazines like this from my grandmother's collection. It is easy to imagine it being read over coffee in 1968, then carefully tucked away and preserved for nearly sixty years. Today it offers a fascinating glimpse into everyday life, fashion and social history of the period.
Decade: 1960s
Condition Vintage used condition with age-related wear, handling marks and signs of storage. Please examine all photographs carefully as they form part of the description and condition report.

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. 💛
