There is nothing like vintage Pucci and his cotton pieces that were meant for the beach are among my absolute favorites. This fabulous little cover up instantly makes you think of far off tropical luxury, combined with lazy days spent by the ocean, with umbrella topped drinks in hand. It is superbly simple in cut, allowing the beauty of that custom screened cotton to shine. The colors are pure and blissful pinks. He effortlessly mixes different hues of pink and then highlighted them with pops of white and grey. The angular pattern is all edged in fine black and signed throughout with that famous Pucci signature. It is made of a thicker twill weight cotton and buttons down the front with the buttons hidden under that front border. You can easily wear it on its own as a mini dress, or even layered over other pieces as more of a tunic. Excellent condition with a couple of very minor notes below

Unlined and closes at the front with hidden buttons under the front panel. There is a slight bit of fading near the arm, A teeny spot near the front hem and faint mark at the front. Please review the three photos after the label shot. These are all extremely minor. Tagged a vintage Pucci 12

The twin of this dress in a green and blue colorway walked the spring 1993 runway and I have included that footage here for you to see it on and in action.  It is very representative of that season and I am very pleased to have this example in the shop.

The dress is made from a crisp cotton that has enough weight and structure to it to perfectly fall into the line that Yves desired it to have. The dress perfectly represents this time period and you can see the transition from the stronger, more angular shaped of the eighties slowly moving into simpler shapes for the 1990s. The vivid color ways from the 1980s are still there, but the shape is softening and becoming simpler and less of a sharp angle from the shoulder. It is cut to skim over the body. On the runway it was worn belted for more shape and you could easily do that to this one. The base is a bright pink that in person is a little softer then how it photoed. This is then edged with a wide grosgrain ribbon in turquoise. The neckline is cut in a high V and the dress crosses over itself at the front. It begins to button at the base of the V and then closes sown that one side. The buttons are large and each is a combination of a gold toned metal with poured red enamel. It is amazing on the body and a rare find. Excellent condition with on tiny note to review below

Fully lined in a matching pink silk and closes with the buttons as seen. Padding in each shoulder. Tagged a vintage YSL 38. There is a small, faint mark on one shoulder which I have photoed and shown after the label photo. It appears to have been let out a touch along the hips at some point.

When Alexa Chung announced that she was doing a collaboration with AG Jeans, the fashion crowd immediately took notice. When the collection was released the pieces sold out worldwide. This little denim mini was the stand out piece from that capsule. The dress is in immaculate condition and appears to have never been worn. It is made from a stretch denim so is extremely comfortable to wear. It closes with a series of snaps down the front, each embossed with the "Alexa Chung for AG" circling around a little flower. That same signature flower is embroidered on one of the pockets at the bust. Both of the pockets at the front also close with that same silver press snaps as do each cuff. Its a very easy to wear and flattering dress and the fact that it completely opens lets it play double duty as a layering piece. Excellent condition

Unlined ad close with the snaps at the front as seen. Snaps on each pocket and each cuff. Tagged a brand size large. The fabric has some give and stretch. As new condition

This fabulous Emilio Pucci dress is particularly special as it still retains its original fully beaded crystal belt. These belts were hand made by Coppola e Toppo and are very well documented. I have seen these sold on their own for several hundred dollars and even girl using them as necklaces so you are really getting a little extra for your dollar with it still being present and with the dress. The majority of them are only beaded at their ends with tassels and the belt part done in a matching fabric to the dress but this belt is entirely crystals which was very exciting to find. The color palette of this gorgeous Pucci dress is also quite fabulous and the dress is made from his signature silk jersey. The fabric choice is light in weight and easy to wear and it also held color beautifully. Which means that the design is still as vibrant as when it was first made. I love the mix of that bright pinks base with its pops of green and yellow that covers the dress. It buttons down the front to the waist and the skirt falls in a simple A-line under that. The button front allows you to open it as low as you wish or do it up right to the  the little pointed collar. His signature contrasting border highlights the front, collar and cuffs. This one does have seaming through the waist for shape and then the belt can be used to give it more shape. The entire dress weighs ounces and is wonderfully bright and happy in feel as all the really great Pucci's are. Excellent condition.

Unlined and closes with a side painted metal zipper. It also buttons down the front as shown. Finished by hand throughout. The fabric has a little bit of stretch but the waist seam has none. Tagged a vintage Pucci 10 but please make sure to check the measurements below.

This is a remarkable coat or full length dress, that was constructed with a level of hand work that is getting harder and harder to find. The photos do not come close to doing it justice. It is not 100% perfect but its construction and beauty far out weigh its few flaws. The exterior is extensively covered with a beautiful crewel embroidery technique that is done by hand. Despite its age the colors are still fresh and vibrant. The design work is exceptional. Dense embroidery work form beautiful bouquets of flowers that circle all around the hem, cover the upper back and run down each sleeve. The collar is a soft rounded notch collar and this is embroidered with flowers that then trail down the front. The hand embroidered design is a pattern of soft flowers and leaves in a variety of pastels, an unusual color choice against the red, but one that works. The base is a fine and light deep red colored wool and I love the sweeping cut of the lower portion. Every detail is perfect down to the hand embroidered buttons. You can wear this as a spectacular evening coat, or because it does do fully up you can wear it on its own as a dress, or keep it as a boudoir piece. It is exquisite and a testament to the great craftsmanship and highly skilled technique that is rapidly being lost. Presents as excellent condition but has a couple of small flaws noted below.

Fully lined in red silk and closes with those amazing button and loops at the front. I see a dark discoloration on the back of one sleeve and some light marks where it was folded for many years and faded slightly, these go all the way around and are less visible in real life then how they photoed. Please review the last two photos for these areas. I have also included detail photos showing the hand work on the embroidery. The red is a touch more vibrant in person.  Please remember that pieces of this age will have a natural patina and should not be expected to be absolutely perfect (though this is close).

This is a gorgeous Givenchy dress made of an absolutely exquisite fabric. It is a chocolate silk voile that has had these little soft lavender bits of silk fused directly into the fabric. The very outer edges of the little purple bits have been left with a sift raw delicate fringe so the appliqué work has a slight texture and depth to it. It is very unusual and beautiful. The color combination is also unusual and I love the two together. The top portion of the dress is cut to mimic a blouse with a button up front and sleeves are long and cut to slight puff out above their cuffs. The collar is kelpt neat and rounded and a yoke details runs across the shoulders. This tops a long skirt that widens out softly as it nears the ground and has hidden pockets along the tucked in front seaming. The original tie is present to cinch in the waist and create shape. It's extremely chic when on and I love that it buttons completely down the front so if you wish you can leave it open at the neck or skirt for a flash of skin to show. Presents as excellent condition with a small condition flaw to note below

Fully lined in a brown silk organza and has very well finished interiors. The dress buttons completely down the front and each cuffs buttons to close. The original waist tie belt is present. Note that there are some tiny scattering so of pinholes on the back of the dress. All seem stable and are barely noticeable. None worsened when it was cleaned. There is perhaps a light fading on the top of each sleeved shoulder. These are all very minor and not apparent once on. I have adjusted the price accordingly Hand finished

Louis Feraud Haute Couture pieces are very rare indeed. They are hard to find and this one is exceptional - a true treasure. Haute Couture is the very pinnacle of the fashion experience and I would hazard to say that vintage versions are even a little more special then modern ones. This dress also comes direct from the daughter of the original Haute Couture client so has not been on the market prior to this. All of her dresses were bought in this general time period so the date on this may not be exact but it is certainly within a season or two of this date

The dress is amazing and and a classic silhouette. Ironically it feels extremely of this season when one thinks of what ateliers like Gucci are now doing. It is entirely done by hand and the silk is of the highest possible grade. It feels stupendous on. The top is loose fitting and the sleeves slightly voluminous above their cuffs. An attached tie goes around the neck and ties for a pretty touch. The entire dress is a masterpiece of pleat work and an example of how finely done a pleat can be - each is perfectly spaced and some are actually doubled with another pleat of fabric hidden under the top on - this technique uses an excessive amount of fabric - only in couture would this be as the cost would be prohibitive in RTW to so this. The color is a true rich pink - it has not photoed the exact pink and in person is will far exceed your expectation. It is truly a brilliant dress and when you see it in person you will be astounded at the level of craftsmanship and care put into the construction. A masterpiece. In excellent, museum quality condition.

Fully lined through the skirt in a pink silk and unlined through the bodice and sleeves. All interior seams hand finished. It closes down the front with hand made silk covered buttons. It buttons from the neck to the waist. Finished to Haute Couture standards and entirely done by hand. Haute Couture label present

I just can't get enough of this fabulous little white shift dress with its shiny contrasting black buttons running down the front. This chic little dress is designed by none other then the great Normal Norell who was known for his sharp tailored lines and use of the best possible fabrics. This particular dress is the perfect example of both. It is made from a wonderful linen cotton mix fabric that has a nice crisp and clean feel to it. The tightly spaced, glossy black buttons down the front are bold and really give the dress a surprisingly modern feel even now. Little cap sleeves, a neat collar and just the hint of shape at the waist its simplicity is part of its appeal that allow the starkness of the black and white color and the girl wearing it to take center stage. Excellent condition

Fully lined in a high grade white silk and close with the front buttons. Proper tailored buttonholes and hand finished beautifully inside. Hidden pockets along the side seams. There is the faintest of a small spot near the buttons at the front. Super-size the photo to see - its very faint and was tough to capture. This may come out with additional cleaning. Priced accordingly
