1929 Step-in White Teddy Sm

A marvelous example of the lingerie made by the renowned Van Raalte Company. In 1907, brothers Emanuel and Zealie Van Raalte established the E. & Z. VAN RAALTE COMPANY in New York City. At that time, all veils were imported from France and England, and the Van Raalte brothers seized the opportunity to manufacture quality veils in America. By 1920 it was the largest silk-veiling and net factory in the world.

The company branched out to manufacture and sell silk jersey cloth, gloves, underwear, and hosiery. By 1920, it had 12 factories throughout the East Coast. It sold its products through all of the upscale department stores of the day and became known for its high quality. The company slogan was “VAN RAALTE: Because You Love Nice Things.”
