Freshly hand laundered and ready to display. Constance Leiter owned and operated a very fine specialty shop on the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City 1940's - 1970's. The MARGHAB SALON was located in only high end department stores and 3 boutiques in US and Australia, including Constance Leiter's from 1938-1963. MARGHAB linens were produced on the Island of Madeira from 1932 to 1978 by native embroideresses employed by Marghab Linens, Ltd. South Dakota native Vera Way Marghab and her husband, Emile, established the company in 1932. After his death in 1947, Vera continued to supervise the linen design and operation of the company for nearly 30 years. The collection was given to the SDSU museum by Vera Way Marghab in 1970. Mrs. Leiter traveled to Madeira several times a year to have her own unique designs hand embroidered by the embroideresses of the island. Constance Leiter designs are considered to be among the finest in vintage Madeira linens and are highly collectible and very hard to find!
