* Label reads Jonny Herbert Originals

The Jonny Herbert label produced sophisticated, junior-sized quality day, cocktail and evening dresses. The company was registered by John Buffa and Herbert Aptel in 1950 as a division on Sealove-Becker, Inc. By 1954 the company had expanded into the Midwest with a sales office in Chicago. Aptel later left the company but Buffa managed it until his death in 1973. I have not been able to track more detailed history of the company, although I must add that over the years I have owned a number of dresses from this label, and seen many more, and all are high quality, beautifully made and designed.

 

Condition 

Excellent. 

No notable flaws that I can see -  a sliver of thread can be seen on a couple of seams and stitching on hem a tad untidy but not visible at all from the front.

Please note that these are vintage items that have been used and loved over the years, As such, they may display slight evidence of their age. Any notable flaws above and beyond this will be highlighted here.

 

Comment 

Simply gorgeous dress with some fabulous design details that really make it stand apart from the rest. One of the best Jonny Herbert dresses I have had the pleasure of owning. Please drop us a line if you require additional information about this listing.

Great value for your money & smells fresh & cleans well & nice lather
Size: 50 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Scent: Gentle & Mild
I love tits effectiveness to clean & you can also add a pump functionality on it or you can just refill smaller bottles that have a pump which you can also buy here on Amazon or refill your old liquid handsoaps with pump, because this cleans well, nice lather , moisturizing feel & great for sensitive skin, smells fresh. I buy this a lot for my personal use & office use. Great value for your money.

Great value hand soap, but watch out for leaky bottles
Size: 7.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 6), Scent: Fresh
For a 6-pack at this price, you really can't complain too much. The soap itself is pleasant — it lathers well, rinses clean, and leaves your hands feeling soft without any dryness afterward. The "Original Fresh" scent is light and clean without being overpowering, nothing fancy but perfectly fine for everyday use. My main issue was that one of the six bottles arrived with a leak — not completely empty but had clearly lost some product in transit, which was a little frustrating. It seems like a packaging or seal issue rather than anything wrong with the product itself, but worth mentioning. The other five bottles were perfectly fine and have been holding up great. If you're looking for a no-frills, budget-friendly hand soap to stock up on for the kitchen or bathroom, this gets the job done. Just inspect your bottles when they arrive. Good value overall despite the one hiccup.

The Best "Stock Up and Save" Find on the Internet! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Size: 7.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 6), Scent: Fresh, Size: 7.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 6), Scent: Fresh
If you are tired of overpaying for fancy hand soaps that run out in a week, this Amazon Basics 6-pack of Liquid Hand Soap is the ultimate household hack. It’s simple, effective, and honestly, a total steal. Why this 6-pack is a total winner: The "Original Fresh" Scent: It’s exactly what you want in a hand soap—clean, light, and crisp. It’s not overpowering or flowery; it just smells like a freshly cleaned house. Gentle on Hands: I wash my hands a lot throughout the day, and this formula doesn’t leave my skin feeling dry or cracked. It lathers up perfectly and rinses off clean without that weird "filmy" feeling some cheap soaps have. The Perfect Size: The 7.5 fl oz bottles are the ideal "goldilocks" size. They fit on every sink—from the tiny powder room to the cluttered kitchen counter—without taking up too much space. Bulk Convenience: Buying the 6-pack means I’m not constantly adding soap to my grocery list. I keep one at every sink and have backups ready in the pantry. No more "emergency runs" to the store when a bottle runs dry! The Bottom Line: You don’t need to spend $5 a bottle for clean hands. This Amazon Basics soap does the job perfectly, smells great, and saves you a ton of money over time. It’s a boring purchase that makes life so much easier. Final Verdict: 10/10. Great lather, great scent, and even better price. I’m officially a convert!
