Right on cue for back-to-school season and the fictional time that students return to Hogwarts every year, Unique Vintage launched The House Rules Collection, which fuses the well-known Harry potter houses and colors with retro uniform styles. The collection is full of color-coordinated designs and patterns with a 50s-inspired flare and an expansive size range.
In the collection, one of the favorite products is bound to be the Unique Vintage 1950s Letterman Cardigan, each of which boasts a flocked patch to represent the Slytherin, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw houses. Each of the soft, long-sleeve sweaters has a name like Myrtle, Lily, Pansy or Hannah to reference a beloved female character from the series.
The House Rules Collection by Unique Vintage is also full of 50s-style high-waist skirts, Dolores swing dresses and shoes.
