Whimsy in Spun Cotton — Vintage by Crystal at BON TON goods
Inspired by the soft glow of old-world ornamentation and the magic of childhood memories, the spun-cotton figures from Vintage by Crystal arrive at BON TON goods as a delicate celebration of craftsmanship and joy.
The Art of Spun Cotton
Originating in Victorian Germany, spun cotton figurines were once made to dazzle, light, airy forms covered in cotton-threads, crepe, glitter and vintage trims. Today, Vintage by Crystal revives that tradition with fresh vision. Handmade in upstate New York by the husband-and-wife team of Crystal and Ben Sloane, each piece is crafted with care, whimsy and a collector’s eye.
Joy in the Details
These figures are not merely seasonal decorations—they are stories in miniature. A Santa balancing a peppermint, a snowman caught in dance, a humble mushroom topped with a little snail child, each form layered with texture, shimmer and personality. The slight variations, the hand-painted faces, the vintage-inspired materials—all add to the charm and uniqueness of each piece.
