Part of my grandmother's collection, this original Brigitte Magazine from 19th July 1966 (Issue 15) is a beautiful piece of mid-century European fashion and lifestyle history.
Featuring a striking summer cover adorned with daisies, this issue captures the optimism and style of the 1960s. Articles include fashion, beauty, travel, home-making, relationships, recipes, and practical crafts, including features on women travelling alone and summer crochet projects.
For collectors of vintage magazines, fashion historians, costume designers, and lovers of 1960s culture, Brigitte remains one of Germany's most influential women's publications and offers a fascinating snapshot of everyday life during the decade.
This magazine comes from my grandmother's long-kept collection. I can easily imagine it being read on a warm summer afternoon in 1966, perhaps while planning a holiday, choosing a new dress pattern, or simply enjoying a quiet moment with a cup of tea. These magazines have survived for nearly sixty years and still carry the atmosphere of the era beautifully.

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. 💛
