Historic Thread

Add a chapter to Earrings

Wore it, made it, sold it, altered it, gave it? Say what you know and it goes into thread MET181275.

Up to three. A phone photo on a hanger or a bed is fine. The care or brand label is the most useful one.

What happens next

A person checks the draft against the photos, fixes what needs fixing, writes it up as a thread, and sends you the link. Share the link with whoever has the piece next; they can add the chapter after yours.

What makes a good thread

Dates, even rough ones. Places. What it was worn with. Who had it before you. The alterations, the stain that would not come out, the night it went to. The label photo tells us who made it and roughly when.

Have more than a few?

A shop, a rental closet, an archive, a serious collection: connect it as a feed and the database keeps itself up to date.
