Art Deco accessories
Part two of planning for February.
Stockings (not pantyhose) had back seams. Two Lippy Ladies in Market Street have a fabulous selection.
Hats: most are familiar with the cloches that were fashionable in the 20s and early 30s. Due to financial constraints, they were likely to have been worn by some through to the late 30s but there are many other styles to consider. Obviously, Charleston Chic and Decorum have lots for you to choose from and Napier Central in Hastings Street have some too.
Gloves: Charleston Chic, Decorum and Napier Antique Centre are the shops for these essentials.
It's the hats and gloves that really finish your outfit and make you a 1930s lady. I don't find it too hot to wear stockings and gloves in February but if you do, there are crocheted summer lace gloves available. It has always been correct to wear hosiery with closed shoes.
The attached document shows some fashion and includes a free knitting pattern. I wear knits in February.
Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
