The simple moniker “VERA,” marked on colorful, graphic, mid-century textiles, was the signature label of artist Vera Neumann. Each design began as an original painting by Vera, who believed in the Bauhaus design principle that fine art should be accessible to everyone. Many of Vera’s paintings were made with a sumi brush, a style favored by Japanese watercolor artists, and featured colorful florals, geometric abstractions, playful still-lives, and bright landscapes or city scenes. This imagery was then printed onto a wide variety of housewares including aprons, coasters, napkins, potholders, pottery, placemats, bed linens, curtains, and draperies.
With World War II in full swing, Vera found linen supplies dwindling and went in search of alternative materials for her products. She came across some parachute silk at an army surplus store, an event which marked the beginning of her scarf business.
She kept her signature on art transferred to the scarves, thus creating the first signature scarf in history.
"Vera scarves" became immediately popular and Vera herself was soon on first-name terms with well-known women around the country. Marilyn Monroe was a fan, as were Grace Kelly and First Lady Bess Truman, who selected Vera fabric from Schumacher, Inc. to decorate the third-floor solarium windows and upholstery of the White House.
I have several VERA listings which would easily combine for shipping.
