As a collector of Expo 67 paraphernalia, I've always dreamt of actually owning something that a hostess wore.Well... dreams do come true!
I regularly peruse eBay's Expo 67 auctions. A few weeks ago, I noticed the official raincoat and handbag worn by U.S. pavilion hostesses up for auction.
I watched that auction day in and day out. I was prepared to bid whatever it would take to get this ultra-rare item...
Lucky for me, it only took $33.00 (U.S.)!
The coat's label tells us it was made by Travelcoats by Naman.
The label inside the handbag identifies it as an Expo 67 artifact.
