PRETTIE LANES offers much more than a handmade, period - authentic design.

It sells the new, traditionally fashioned alternative to true vintage, in your size!

AUTHENTIC DESIGNS & SEWING TECHNIQUES

Franziska Schlupski PRETTIE LANES is specialized in the iconic fashion of the 1940s and 1950s. Nostalgic styles for all the ladies, who cherish the femininity and romance of that era. Authenticity, the attention to details and timeless elegance shape the collections.
With vintage sewing techniques and carefully selected fabrics and materials PRETTIE LANES intends to create designs that are as authentic as possible, yet no reproductions. Metal zippers, rayon seam hemming, fabrics in limited editions and a lot of handstitching are just a few things used to develop this 'vintage look and feel' without(!) a modern twist.
