Santos Love

{Female Form 36" w/bendable arm.....$545}


We love these female forms...and obviously so do many of you as we have always had a hard time keeping them in stock!

Originally used in religious ceremonies, such as wedding processions or funerals, the "Bastadas" (female forms) are often adorned with photos of loved ones and religious trinkets and carried down the streets. Later, they rest atop a fireplace matel or prominant place in the home where they are believed to bring fortune and blessings. These originate from either Spain, Mexico or Thailand.

{Female Form above and below pics: 30" w/wood removable arms....$445}


{Female Form 30" w/ wood removable arms...$445.....green color}

{Female Form 36" w/bendable arms....$545. Classic Turquoise color}





More arriving in pinks and yellows in the 40-46" sizes!!!
Call or email or find online if interested!

Crown for a King



Due to the mayhem and traffic congestion in Los Angeles for the Michael Jackson Memorial on Tuesday, July 7, Vintageweave Interiors will be open on limited hours:
UPDATED: THE TRAFFIC WAS WORSE THAN EVEN WE THOUGHT AND IT'S STILL EARLY! VINTAGEWEAVE REGRETS IT WILL BE CLOSED ALL DAY TODAY, Tuesday, July 7. We will be open Wednesday, July 8, 11a-4p. Normal hours resume Friday and Saturday 11a-4p.
Being born in Gary (waaaay back when) and an affinity for all things Jackson 5, I'd like to think the King of Pop would have loved one of our vintage crowns for his collection. New arrival of vintage crowns in now. Looks for detailed pictures in a post later this week.


Dear Michael: For such an incredibly talented entertainer who gave us all years of jaw-dropping moves and song, we hope your troubled adult soul can now rest in peace, as God intended.
