Some Of Our Favorite Design Books
The Millie Vintage was born out of a resounding love of vintage design. A deep fall down the rabbit hole had me eating up every piece of content I could possibly find. Whether it was furniture, interiors or architecture I found myself endlessly scrolling through tumblr accounts probably started from the platforms conception, stalking boomers Flickr accounts and eventually purchasing lots of books from Ebay and small mom and pop shops. Now, we are here to share with you our favorite design books.
Enjoy!
