Vintage Lingerie Olga Lace Vintage Panty Girdle
Ever wondered who really is OLGA? As some of her tags say, "Behind Every Olga there really is an Olga". Here at Sweet Cherry Vintage, I offer you exquisite vintage Olga nightgowns and undergarments.
It is hard to believe that the Olga Company, one of the most sought after brands in vintage (and modern) lingerie, began with a measly $10 in the forties and reached volume sales of $67 million. Well the Olga behind Olga made it happen with her incredible undergarment designs and dedication to making women feel ultra feminine and beautiful. Olga Erteszek, designer and founder of the Olga Company, left her native Krakow, Poland and immigrated to California with her husband, Jan Erteszek, in 1939. Jan was a lawyer who found work in sales after coming to the US and Olga, whose mother was a corsetière, worked in a factory making brassieres and girdles.
Now let's not forget that during World War II, sacrifices were made. Lingerie companies were assisting in the production of parachutes for the army and fabrics were rationed. When Olga saw a woman with hosiery rolled to her knees one day on a trolley, she told her husband that women should at least have something to hold up their stockings, even with the sacrifices being made during the was. With Jan's support and encouragement, she rented a sewing machine for $5 and spent another $5 on material and sewed a dozen lace-trimmed garter belts. A buyer for Bullocks-Wilshire department store bought the garter belts, and the Olga Company began. By 1950, the company was fully established in the lingerie industry.
In the early years Olga was directing seventeen designers, making fashionable lingerie that enhanced, shaped, and smoothed a women's body. Jan was the head of marketing and sales in the Olga Company, and had Olga appear in the company's advertisements as early as 1952.

YEEE HAW! Lingerie Goes Country! Vintage Heartland Lingerie
YEEE HAW! Lingerie Goes Country! Vintage Heartland Lingerie. Inspired by the romantic love stories
sung in country music, they took country music and vintage
style and fused them into creating the Vintage Heartland Brand for
lingerie and intimate apparel. Their romantic, country inspired "collections" are known as "Buy Local, Good Ole Country Life
and Got Milk".
This American gal, truly found her ultimate lingerie collection, dear to my heart. Coming from a Southern background, they won a true fan for life! My FIRST and I am sure many more to come purchase is the Kitty 2 piece cami and capri pj set.
Next month, I hope to treat myself to this little number!
But not only does Vintage Heartland offer super cute, girly, romantic, and AFFORDABLE lingerie, they also support local farms in America through the No Farms-No Foods campaign with the American Farmland Trust. Their message is simple and couldn't be more clear.
Even the photos used in the look books on their website were shot at Glynwood Farms, a sustainable working farm!

Vintage Heartland "about us" page says: "Inspired by the romantic love stories sung in country music, we took our two loves of country and vintage style and fused them into creating the Vintage Heartland Brand for lingerie and intimate apparel.
Just like you,Vintage Heartland is an authentic grass roots brand that believes that it is important to make a difference, that family comes first and beauty is on the inside as well as the out. Our company is a labor of love run by folks who believe in the same values as our mothers and grandmothers – work hard, be true to yourself and always lend a helping hand. At Vintage Heartland, hometown values are reflected in our image because we believe that beauty is what you are born with-curves and all.
Whether she lives in the country and drives a pickup truck or she’s city based- a part of the Vintage Heartland woman still belongs to her hometown. So no matter where you live, north, south, east or west, in a big city or a small town, there is always a little bit of a Vintage Heartland girl in all of us.Our designs look expensive-but they are not because we believe that we can offer affordable products that are truly pretty. We pride ourselves on having a great fit, beautiful quality and fashion trends that reflect our vintage country life style.
The collection evokes a flirty playfulness with a sweet wholesome edge reminiscent of times past and vintage styling that is reflected in our pretty prints and trims."
