Elizabeth Arden Pin Cushion Perfume Presentations

In the late 1930s and into the 1950s, Elizabeth Arden offered several different pin cushion themed perfume presentations. Sometimes the cushion itself was different, heart shaped one year, hat shaped in another, blue covered one year and pink the next. These are very rare as the perfume was often contained in tiny stoppered bottles on the end of a pin, simulating a hat pin from yesteryear. Other presentations included real pins that you could use as well as a small bottle of perfume attached to the cushion.

The New Yorker, 1939:
"Elizabeth Arden, always highly imaginative where lovely femininity is concerned (pink is no discovery to her), offers Easter presents that are the height of delicate froufrou. A notable one is a blue satin-covered old-fashioned pincushion with four pins stuck in it."

Stage, 1939:
"Elizabeth Arden's little gadgets are always amusing and charming. Now it's four perfume pins on a blue satin, moss- fringed pin-cushion."



Dance, 1940:
"Elizabeth Arden has put four of her perfume pins around a rosette of posies in an old-fashioned pincushion made gay and young with a cerise satin top and an edge of starched frills. The perfume pins are glass bubbles of perfume."




Cue, 1950:
"There are, too, several beguiling perfume novelties: An artful red velvet, heart shaped pin cushion from Elizabeth Arden, with four pearl stickpins holding in place a bottle of "My Love." $6.50"
