Though ILV was once started by a brother and sister, as a 'simple' store, with the love for memories from the past, it has now lovingly growed into a tree with it's own ideas, vision, philosophy and dreams.
The ILV DreamsILV offers the modern woman, a woman who finds herself in an enormously developed society, the possibility to find and express herself.
In our modern society there are endless possibilities, and perhaps we can say because there are too many possibilities and choices, we often express not our own individual uniqueness, but rather follow the dominant and bossy 'mass'.
ILV offers the young millennium women that what is needed to find and express the best version of herself through inspiration and warmth from our past.
With this, ILV also tries to create her own - peaceful, inspiring, deep and warm, world in our, sometimes busy, industrial, mechanic and stressful, society.
A loving memory for fashion is ILV's little heart and so, ILV searches in the enormous ocean of mass, fashion that is made with love, care, personality and character, and one that is rather created than produced.
VINTAGE for ILV
ILV finds her inspiration throughout the warmest times in our history.
And so, for ILV, vintage is not only fashion and atmospheres from the fifties through the eighties. On the contrary, the entire lovehistory of mankind, and especially that of women, can be inspiring.
ILV's little heart beats a bit faster, every times it finds a loving and warm moment from the past, either tiny or huge.
Movements like the Baroque, Romanticism, and Art Deco are of great inspiration for ILV. But also the history of other great cultures of our planet give ILV her wisdom and inspiration.
