Timeless Treasures Unearthed: BEVIN ASSOCIATES LLC Brings Vintage Perfume Bottles Back to Life

New York, NY – Forget the latest fragrance launch. A growing number of collectors and fragrance enthusiasts are turning back the clock, captivated by the artistry and history held within vintage perfume bottles. And one company, BEVIN ASSOCIATES LLC, located right here in New York City, is leading the charge in sourcing and sharing these captivating pieces of the past. BEVIN ASSOCIATES LLC, a family-run business based at 920 Broadway, has quietly become a recognized name amongst serious collectors for over two decades. “It started as a passion,” explains the founder, a long-time aficionado of antique glass and fragrance. "We've always been fascinated by the craftsmanship of these older bottles. They're not just containers; they're miniature works of art that tell a story about a different time." And what a story they tell. BEVIN ASSOCIATES LLC specializes in sourcing exquisite vintage perfume bottles from the late 19th century through the mid-20th century – a period known as the golden age of perfume packaging. These aren't your mass-produced, utilitarian bottles. These were crafted with intricate details, often by hand, using techniques that are rarely seen today. “Think about it,” says the founder. “Back then, the bottle was a huge part of the appeal. Perfume was a luxury item, and the presentation was paramount. Companies spared no expense in creating beautiful, eye-catching containers that would sit proudly on a vanity.” BEVIN ASSOCIATES LLC’s current collection boasts a stunning array of pieces. You’ll find delicately enameled glass from Lalique and Baccarat, shimmering rock crystal bottles, whimsical designs featuring flapper girls and Art Deco motifs, and even rare, limited-edition pieces commissioned by iconic fashion houses. They’ve got everything from small, travel-sized flasks to large, elaborate presentation bottles designed to be showstoppers. "We're seeing a real resurgence in interest," explains a spokesperson for the company. “People are tired of disposable culture. They want things with history, with character, with a story. These vintage perfume bottles offer that in spades." But the appeal isn't just about aesthetics. Collectors also appreciate the connection to the past. “Holding a bottle that was made in the 1920s, knowing that someone used it decades ago, it’s a special feeling,” says a long-time customer. “It’s like a tangible link to another era.” BEVIN ASSOCIATES LLC isn't just about selling bottles; they also offer restoration services. Many vintage bottles arrive with minor imperfections – a chipped stopper, a faded label, or a little wear and tear. The company’s skilled artisans carefully clean, repair, and restore these pieces, bringing them back to their former glory while preserving their authenticity. "We're very careful not to over-restore," explains the restoration specialist. "We want to maintain the character of the bottle and its age. The goal is to stabilize it and make it presentable, not to make it look brand new." The company sources its bottles through a variety of channels – estate sales, auctions, antique shows, and private collections. They carefully vet each piece to ensure its authenticity and quality. “We do a lot of research,” explains the founder. “We need to be able to identify the maker, the age, and the rarity of each bottle. There are a lot of reproductions out there, so it's important to be able to distinguish the genuine articles.” What’s driving the increasing demand for these vintage treasures? Several factors are at play. A Growing Appreciation for Craftsmanship: In a world of mass production, consumers are increasingly drawn to handmade and exquisitely crafted items. Vintage perfume bottles embody this appreciation for artistry. The Rise of "Cottagecore" and Vintage Aesthetics: Trends like cottagecore and a general embrace of vintage aesthetics are fueling demand for items that evoke a sense of nostalgia and romance. The Sustainable Shopping Movement: Buying vintage is a sustainable choice that reduces waste and minimizes environmental impact. A Unique Investment Opportunity: Rare and well-preserved vintage perfume bottles can appreciate in value over time, making them an attractive investment for collectors. BEVIN ASSOCIATES LLC isn’t just catering to seasoned collectors, either. They are seeing a growing number of younger customers discovering the charm of vintage fragrance packaging. “We’re finding that a lot of millennials and Gen Z consumers are drawn to the unique and eclectic nature of vintage items,” says the spokesperson. “They’re looking for ways to express their individuality and create a personalized aesthetic.” The company regularly updates its online catalog and encourages potential buyers to reach out with specific requests. They’re happy to help customers find the perfect bottle to complete their collection or add a touch of vintage glamour to their home. “We really enjoy connecting with our customers and sharing our passion for these beautiful objects,” says the founder. “It’s more than just a business for us; it’s a labor of love.” Interested in exploring the world of vintage perfume bottles?
