Though I’ve spent years studying Twin Peaks props and collecting replicas, the show’s wardrobe has largely remained in my blind spot. Thankfully A.M. Starr, author of the wonderfully insightful 1400 River Road blog, has a keen eye for wardrobe details and has identified several pieces I likely would’ve missed. In 2021, she identified and wrote…
Inspired by 1950s design, costumes seen in Twin Peaks’ first two seasons were from several notable companies such as Pendleton or Italian-based United Colors of Benetton. Lara Flynn Boyle’s Donna Hayward sported a Benetton cardigan sweater in the pilot episode, which found its way onto Moira Kelly in David Lynch’s 1992 feature film Twin Peaks:…
Long before Twin Peaks Blog was launched in February 2018, I was fascinated by props and other set decorating from David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks and motion picture, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me.

The quest to identify all the props from David Lynch and Mark Frost’s wonderful and strange show Twin Peaks continues with a unique offering originally posted by Executive Producer Sabrina Sutherland. She through out a challenge to identify a whisky bottle from the archive. As it turns out, the breakaway glass bottle prop appears in my…
My fascination with identifying props from Twin Peaks started in the early 2010s after seeing the Twin Peaks Props website run by brother Jerry Horne. One of the first I found was the hot dog serving platter at the Johnson house followed by Special Agent Dale Cooper’s milk glass. One of the more obscure background items…
