With WWII in full swing, Vera found linen supplies dwindling & went in search of alternative materials for her products. She came across some parachute silk at an army surplus store, an event which marked the beginning of her scarf business. She kept her signature on art transferred to the scarves, thus creating the first signature scarf in history. "Vera scarves" became immediately popular and Vera herself was soon on first-name terms with well-known women around the country."   (Marilyn Monroe, Bess truman, & Grace Kelly were true fans of Vera colorful materials).  "The demand for Vera products and the untimely death of George in 1962 led Vera to sell the business to Manhattan industries in 1967"
