From the Spring 1994 collection comes this iconic printed beach towel featuring a mix of some of the most well known items that have come to represent the Chanel brand. The twin of this particular towel was shown on the runway wrapped around Claudia Mason, it also appeared in the Lookbook for that season and was shot for Vogue. The outer border is the soft sea blue color and the back of the towel is white. The background behind the printed parts is the soft pastel pink you see. It is made out of 100% cotton printed terrycloth. Excellent condition with one small snag on the terry cloth that I have photoed and you can see in the last two shots before the reference photos.

Measures 40" x 59"

This dates to the early 2000s and is a remarkable throwback to the deco era in feel with its amazing large Chanel logo print that runs across the bottom of the towel. Three vintage feeling girls, complete with one piece swimsuits and a variety of head wraps, dive and cavort among those letter. The rest of the towel combines a curving print made of two blues and the famous double Cs and its bordered in a red stripe.  The entire back of the towel is white. It is made out of 100% cotton printed terrycloth. Excellent condition with a small amount of normal patina from normal, light wear and washing. Minor marks on the back as seen on the last photo here

This is an incredible belt by Yves Saint Laurent and dates to the time period from when he was creating his famous Russian collection. You can see in the reference photos how this style of belt was used in a variety of colors and finishing details to perfectly set off the collection. This one is a chic cream ivory canvas on a natural leather base combination. It is trimmed with an ivory and gold braiding with long ivory and deep goldr braided ties. At the end of each tie is a knot and a large glossy white bead. It simply wraps and ties at the front and can top just about anything. This is an important piece of fashion history and a rare find. Excellent condition

Marked a brand size 3 and measures 27" from end to end of the actual belt part and then the braided ties extend a 21" on either side. The total length including the ties is 69". The belt itself is 2.5" wide. Perhaps a touch of grubbiness to the braiding but no true flaws

This is an incredible belt by Yves Saint Laurent and dates to the time period from when he was creating his famous Russian collection. You can see in the reference photos how this style of belt was used in a variety of colors and finishing details to perfectly set off the collection. This one is a wider cut, more dramatic version of the other two that I have in the shop right now. The main belt part of it is made out of a black canvas on a black leather base combination. It is trimmed with a gold metallic flat piping and gold metallic rick rack and then has a long black and gold braided ties. At the end of each tie is a 4" black tassel. The tie part is not attached to the belt so to wear you simply wrap it around yourself and then use the hooks at each end of the belt to hook and tie it at the front. It can top just about anything and its wider width really defines the waist. This is an important piece of fashion history and a rare find. Excellent condition

Marked a brand size 2 and measures 25.5" from end to end of the actual belt part and then the braided tie is 54" long. The belt itself is 3.25" wide. Perhaps a touch of grubbiness to the braiding but no true flaws

This is a more modern version of the classic Pucci bag that has the feel of some of the other bags in this collection but with slightly updated features. This one combines a soft pink with taupe and soft lemon for a pretty nod to the iconic Pucci prints. The fabric is a cotton velvet with matching velvet handles. The shape reminds me of the classic frame bag  with soft rounded corners and a curving shape through the body of the bag. It has a top clasp with the Pucci logo embossed onto it and pretty rounded handles that curve up and around from the bag. Excellent condition

Fully lined in a black moire fabric with one large open pocket and a slip pocket on one side. Closes with the top clasp. It looks to have never been used.

8.5" W x 6" H x 3" D and the handles adds 4" to the height

I love the softness and prettiness of this Emilio Pucci clutch. This one is perhaps the most romantic of this collection. It is a softer feeling clutch with a slightly less structured body. It is covered in one of his signature floral prints in a mix of soft pinks and greens on a white base. This covers the exterior of the bag and is instantly recognizable as being Emilio Pucci. The body of the bag is a little deeper and it has a pretty curve from the base up to the top. It closes with a gold frame and clasp that is set just down inside the top of the bag. The double set of handles are made from linked gold chains. Excellent condition

The bag is fully lined in a black silk satin and closes with a gold clasp set just down and inside the top. An interior open pocket and two slip pockets on each side between the center part of the bag and the exterior. The silk shows only minor normal wear inherent to its age.

The print on this Emilio Pucci bag is so pretty. I love the combonation of the soft pinks with the flowers and the darker anchoring black. The fabric is a bit unusual. It is a silk but has an almost raw silk feel to it. The shape reminds me of the classic bowling ball bag but smaller and definitely more chic. I love how the white frame keeps in line with the pastel feel of the bag. The shape is wonderful. It is a mini frame bag that has soft rounded corners and widens from the elaborate top clasp into a solid little base. This one has one of the most elaborate clasps on it I have seen and it adds a touch of glamour to the bag. Excellent condition

Fully lined in white with one large open pocket and a zippered slip pocket on one side. Closes with the top clasp. The silk shows only minimal wear inherent to normal aging on the exterior and on the interior there are a couple of pen marks but no damage. There are no interior markings but the fabric is signed.

This is an absolutely gorgeous little gem of an Emilio Pucci bag and one of the prettiest ones that I have had. The exterior is done in one of his brilliant signature prints in a bright true pink and other bright colors. It is instantly recognizable as being Emilio Pucci and perhaps one of the most coveted color combinations and prints. It closes with a clasp hidden just inside the top frame. The double set of handles are made from linked gold chains.This one is entirely covered in the silk so that its a bright pop of color from every angle. The sleek and simple lines of both pieces still feel modern and fresh. Excellent condition

The bag is fully lined in a black satin and closes with a gold clasp at the top. An interior open pocket and two slip pockets on each side between the center part of the bag and the exterior. The bag looks to have been used very little if at all. In person the pink is a true vivid pink and the colors brighter and more true.

This Emilio Pucci clutch bag is gorgeous and is quite large. It is covered in his signature print that has been done in shades of blue and purple that make the exterior of this bag instantly recognizable as being Emilio Pucci. The fabric is his classic velvet and this gives the bag an added texture and makes it wonderful to carry in the hand. It is really two bags in one. There is an attached heavy gold chain that can be tucked in for it to be a true clutch or used to be able to carry it as a shoulder bag. I love the way that strap folds around the bag to close at the front and the simplicity of the gold bar that holds it in place. Its sleek and simple lines still feel modern and fresh. Excellent condition

Fully lined in a black silk satin and closes with the slip buckle clasp at the front. The handle is attached and hidden under the top flap. Two interior open pockets and a slip pocket inside. Light marks in the velvet inside consistent with normal aging

One of Emilio's signature prints covers the silk exterior of this bag in shades of green and pops of light lavender. It is instantly recognizable as being Emilio Pucci and I love the contrast the print has with the white base and handles. The bag is covered in a silk twill and closes with a gold clasp and has large gold discs at the base of the handles. More gold is picked up on the bottom with the little gold feet. It is sleek and simple lines still feel modern and fresh. Excellent condition with only slight wear tot eh exterior silk

Fully lined in a soft white leather and closes with a gold clasp at the top. An interior open pocket and two slip pockets on each side between the center part of the bag and the exterior. Minor grubbiness to the silk inherent with normal use

This is one of two incredible 'Made to Order' customs bags from the 1930s-1940s period. Each is amazing and what is even more special about them is that both bear the label John-Frederick. The John part of the label is John Harberger who later became famously known as the milliner behind Mr. John, when he launched that label in 1948. The Frederick part of the label was Frederick Hirst, another famous milliner. John and Frederick formed a partnership in 1929. Seeing a hand bag come out of that partnership is very rare. Each of the bags, though similar, are wonderfully unique.

This one presents with more of the black taking predominance. It has an ivory satin lining and one open and one zipped pocket inside. The exterior is covered in thick, jagged looking rows of gold, black and clear sequins. You can instantly see that these are older, early and original sequins that were used. I believe them to be cellulose acetate sequins, developed by Kodak in the 1930s. These were painted and reflected light wonderfully but could crack under the right circumstances. Fortunately, all of the ones on this bag seem intact and in great condition. They all seem present and there is just the normal patina to some of their painted surfaces here and there that you would expect to see on a piece this age. Thousands of these are worked though cotton thread. These have then been had attached to the inner satin part of the bag. The handle is very wide and set on a twist. There is a zipper that runs across the top with a black ribbon pull. It is remarkable and a rare piece of history from this time period. Excellent condition

Measures 9.5" high and x 11" wide. The hand is approx 3.5" wide and sits above the bag making it 13" high in total laying flat, when you hold it it drops down a touch as you can see in the photos and is approx 14" long

This might be one of the most incredible vintage hats I have ever had in the shop. This is by Christian Dior and it is absolutely wonderful and so very unique. The base is a fine ivory felted wool and the crown of the hat is high and rounded. It  then curves softly down to a small brim. Over this is a wide banding of a gold metallic mesh fabric that curves around the base of the crown. Attached to that are hundreds of hand placed white feathers. Each of these feathers has been hand dipped in gold at their edges and then they have been carefully placed atop each other. The have all been placed in the same direction so that as the thickness of them is built up they softly curl over each other. Just the work to hand dip and then select the feathers based on the right size and shape would have taken hours and hours. The hat is soft but with a shaped crown and not so soft that it is floppy. It feels very chic and modern and is a remarkable example of the work that Dior was doing in this time period. Excellent condition

I love this little hat by Christian Dior. It is just wonderfully made and so unique. I have seen a couple of version of this over the years in duller colors - a taupe and a olive green, but this is the only one I have come across in this wonderful red color. The brim is wide and bold with a touch a a slant that you can play with once it is on. I love the soft, 'fuzzy' chenille felt choice of fabric that gives it a fur feel. It has a wonderful patchwork of ribbons hand placed around the crown and onto the brim. The band is a pale dusty rose grosgrain ribbon that extend out the back into two ties that are each finished with the same ribbon. It is then top stitched over the ribbons all the way around the crown and brim. The hat is soft but with a shaped crown and not so soft that it is floppy. It feels very on point and modern. Excellent condition

It was Norman Norell who actually e ncouraged a young Frank Clive to become a milliner and he took to it like a charm. He had his own label but also designed many hats for various designers like Oscar de la Renta and Pauline Trigere. He also did lines for departments stores and did custom pieces as well. In 1985, Women's Wear Daily, in their '75 Years of Fashion' issue, cited Mr. Olive as one of the influential designers of the century.

This is a lovely little hat. It is more of a cap really and made of a dusty colored purple wool felt. It is meant to sit just to the side and pop slightly off the head. Set onto this is an amazing long tassel that is made out of an ultra suede dyed to match. This is set in a knot where it is attached to the hat and then dangles down one side in a full 16" long cascade. Excellent condition with a small note below

This exception and huge Yves Saint Laurent silk scarf from the late 1970s, early 1980s is wonderful. I love the bright fuchsia pink of it and the quality of the fabric is very high. This fabric choice allows the colors to be fully saturated so the scarf is exceptionally bright and vibrant. This one mixes a bright pink with a beautiful floral design. This is then surrounded by a green and deep purple border. I love the hand rolled edging to the scarf that adds a pretty and feminine finish. It is made of a fine silk and cotton mix that is extremely light and pliable - it is the same weight and feel as a fine Hermes piece. It is super light weight despite its size. This will allow you to wear it for many purposes, as a scarf, a shawl, a sarong, a head wrap, or anything else you can dream up style wise.

The YSL logo is screened directly onto the silk and the edges are hand rolled. It is freshly cleaned and it looks to have been worn very little if at all.

This lovely little Christian Dior scarf is from the late 1970s, early 1980s, and it is very pretty. I love the mix of the stark black with that brilliant blue and the way the two colors are divided down the center. This give you a lovely effect once it is tied. It is made of a double layer of fine silk chiffon that has a slight texture to it. This fabric choice makes it extremely light and pliable so that you can easily tie it as you wish. Excellent condition
