Vera Scarves were made by Vera Neumann. She started making them form parachute silk during WWII, all hand painted and later opened a factory. Her first logos were just the name VERA, very large in one corner, then in the 1960s, she started making op-art scarves and added the ladybug logo to her signature. She dropped the ladybug in the 1970s and changed the size of VERA to a much smaller size. She continued to make scarves until 1991 and died in 1993. All of her scarves are collectible, but the 1960s ones with ladybug, the op-art ones, and the silk ones are the most valuable. She made over 20,000 different scarf designs in her lifetime, so no matter how many acollector has, there are always some they do not have.
