This piece is from the vintage label B.B. Collections (by Barbara Barbara).
B.B. Collections operated out of the historic Los Angeles Garment District (then located at 1418 S. Essex St.), where they were known as an Importer, Manufacturer, and Wholesaler. This background is typical of the bustling, localized, and fast-paced fashion production that made 1980s L.A. a capital for contemporary American style.
