The history of clothing labels began almost with the birth of the concept of fashion. The appearance of labels is closely linked to the value of a designer to sign his creation then, since the ’50s of the nineteenth century, these small pieces of embroidered fabric have undergone an extraordinary evolution, changing color, shape, passing from being sewn inside the garments to be applied on the outside, clearly visible to all.

Today the so-called labels no longer have that value, so much so that more and more often they are cut or detached, but only a couple of decades ago brands and boutiques were free to create the strangest and most eccentric labels possible.

In Instagram profile labeltime you can find the most beautiful, eccentric and colorful labels.

The profile made its debut in 2013 and was born from the mind of Dana Cohen, a girl from San Francisco who loves vintage clothes. Labeltime is a sort of collector of all the labels that Dana grieves while going around the markets.
