Fashion’s Past, Unlocked for Today.
For the people who don’t just admire style, they study it, question it, and want to get close enough to see the stitches.
Vault Couture Club is Putnam Museum’s new members-only fashion and textile circle, built for people who want more than labels and lookbooks. This is where you move from spectator to insider, stepping directly into the Collection where the most compelling garments and textiles are kept, the pieces almost
no one gets to see.
Curated. Stylish. Just a touch mysterious.
That’s the point.
