I Have a Question
This bucket bag by Gucci is fantastic and is a rare find. It is one of two that I have in the shop today and both were sourced from the original owner. This one has been made out of the famous Gucci logo canvas. The bag has a flat leather base so that it sits when you set it down. It curves up from there to the opening that is surrounded by gold toned metal loops. These are wrapped around an incredible deep brown lucite handle with a gold inset on either side of the handle. The handle is big enough that you can slip your arm through and wear it up on the shoulder. Running up the centre of the back of the bag is a wide band of leather that matches the base of the bag. This then extends out to create a strap and at the end of that is a huge double G logo in the same gold toned metal as the rings. The way the bag opens and closes is fantastic. To open it you flip the big double G logo back and over and the bag expands out and around the handle to create a wide opening at the top. To close it you flip the strap back over the top and the rings gather and close it tightly. It is genius. The bottom edge is finished with a wide band of their famous red and green stripes. This one came to me in an original Gucci shoe bag that will be sent with the bag. These bags are collectible in their own and well made. Excellent vintage condition with some natural patina
Inside it is an embroidered fabric as shows with a side pocket that has a snap to close. Minor patina and the gold hardware shows natural vintage patina here and there but no significant flaws that I can see. Everything is consistent with age and normal wear. Appropriate Gucci logo stamp on the underside of the top flap. Slight storage smell inside. The leather parts have been conditioned when they arrived here. The dress form it is photoed on is life size so gives you an excellent idea of size and how it sits on an actual person.

This is a classic circa 1989-1990 Chanel camera bag in a deep beautiful milk chocolate. The leather is quilted and has a 'puffed' effect to it. Gold toned hardware and chaining. It closes with a zipper that runs across the top and on the zipper pull is an attached tasseled fringed bag charm in the same leather with double CC metal hardware at the top. On the front is a folded flap with the Chanel double Cs logo topstitched onto it. This opens to reveal a slanted slit pocket. Inside it is lined in a dark brown leather with one zippered pocket one one side. Leather and chain handle. In good vintage condition
Guaranteed authentic. Intact hologram, and stamped appropriately. Date code reads 1540666. In good overall condition with small minor water spots here and there as seen in the photos. The quilting has de-puffed slightly and there is some wear and grubbiness to the edges on the front flap from normal wear. Minor storage smell inside. You can send this out to have it refurbished with Chanel or a specialist and it would double in value and look brand new or wear it with its current patina and the vintage charm it has. The dress form it is photoed on is life size so gives you an excellent idea of size and how it sits on an actual person. The leather is slightly darker in colour in person.

This is an amazing little clutch that was released as a limited edition bag in the mid-seventies. There were two styles released - this one with its smooth curved shape and one that has a small extension on one side and a beaded cord looped through. This one is a true clutch meant to be held in the hand and smooth, curved shape feel very tactile when held. It is hand carved and has a top flap that simply opens to expose a shallow carved out interior just bog enough for a credit card, some money and maybe small lipstick. It is gorgeous and a rare little piece of fashion history.
The bag shows some very minor patina at the back where it would rest on the table. Some of the shellac coating has worn off a touch there. It is numbered but they are hard to make out. The lid closes just a teeny bit more on one side then the other but this was entirely hand carved and I think that this is a natural part of its uniqueness. In very good condition. It came in a knit dustbin that I am not sure is original but will send with it

I Have a Question
This is a great little Fendi bag that has the most unusual design. It is very shaped and formed with hard sides so that it keeps the shape that you see and will hand upright when placed on a table. The exterior is covered in bands of a claret coloured silk that have been woven over each other to create the thatched feel that you see. It sits on a little acrylic base with wide feet on either side. Through that is strung a black silk cord that loops through at the sides and then extends up past the top of the bag. To open it you slide the top of the bag up the cords. Inside is a simple hollowed space lined in silk. It just big enough to fit a phone, credit card, money and maybe a lipstick.
The bag shows very minor patina on the edges of the feet of the base and on the silk where the top slides over the bottom part of the bag. The silk there has darkened a touch as you can see in the photos. In very good condition. It came with a Fendi knit dustbag that shows pilling over all of it. The dust bag will be sent with the bag. The colour is slightly deeper and a touch more towards a burgundy in person.
The body of the bag measures 7"H x 7" at the base x 2" at the base.

This was originally $945USD and this one looks like it was never used. I love its orange floral print and large size. The leather that the flowers have been printed on is slightly textured and gives the clutch a bit of a vintage feel. It zips all the way around with gold toned two-way zipper hardware and then opens to a large interior pocket with a black woven lining, a single slit pocket. Numbered and stamped interior tag. It is pristine and has its original hang tags tucked into a pocket.

Bespoke 2001-2006 Philip Treacy Haute Couture Parasisal Straw Hat w Feather Detail
I Have a Question
Philip Treacy was discovered by Isabella Blow in 1989. She was fundamental to introducing him to the fashion houses and Treacy quickly became known world wide. Vogue declared him as "perhaps the greatest living milliner", he was the first milliner in 80 years to be asked to exhibit during the Paris shows and his work is held in major museums worldwide. His work has graced the runways of Givenchy, Chanel and Valentino and earned him an OBE in 2007. I have three hats from my client who had each one made for her during the time period of 2001 -2006. Each comes with its original box and each is in perfect condition
This amazing hat one is a pale ivory color and it is made out of parasisal straw which is a fine natural straw woven from the fibres of the sisal plant, a type of agave. This straw is used in haute couture millinery because of its high quality and smooth weave and ability to take on color. Here he has hand blocked it onto a high crown that slants towards the front. The brim is wide and flat for extra drama. Wrapped around the base of the crown is a hand made wide ivory silk band. At one side towards the back there is a fluff of soft white feathers and then a spray of long ivory stiffened feathers that jaunt up and back. It is very hard to photo this color and the hat in person is even better than how it photoed. It is gorgeous in person. It looks to have never been worn or worn very little. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a bespoke piece from one of the preeminent hat designers of this century. Excellent condition
Has an ivory silk inner band with a strip of ivory velvet at the inner front for comfort when wearing. Has its original box with its hat form inside. The hat appears to have never been worn. The box was what it was shipped in so it has some scuffs and two of the corners of the lid have been taped.
Brim width: 4" at widest points
Circumference: 22.5"

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.

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

1976-77 Yves Saint Laurent Russian Collection Cream & Gold Braided Tie Belt
I Have a Question
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.

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

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

I Have a Question
25% OFF TAKEN AUTOMATICALLY AT CHECK OUT!
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.

I Have a Question
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

Huge 1970s Yves Saint Laurent Pink & Green Floral Cotton and Silk Scarf
I Have a Question
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.

This belt is from the 1974 season and has the correct D stamp within a circle for that year. This is a classic and very chic Hermes belt. It is made of a deep brown crocodile leather and has the signature H buckle. The skin is still very supple, soft and shows no signs of dryness or cracks. The buckle is a gold metal and these would have been gold plated during this time period. To close the belt it just hooks into please under the buckle. Belts from this time period are quite rare and this one is in excellent condition with just a hint of natural patina to the hardware and leather. This just adds to its vintage appeal. Excellent condition
The belt is just under 32" from end to end x 75" wide. The buckle is 1.5" x 1". The belt is currently set to fit a about a 28" waist and can be adjusted up or down accordingly. There is only one hole to hook the buckle into and the size is all done by adjusting the other end. All appropriate stamps and blind marks. Authentic and appears to have been worn very little. There is a bit of a bend to the leather that is turned under the buckle from being adjusted to different lengths over the years but the leather is not cracked.

This Chanel hat is amazing and I was very pleased to find a photo of Stella tenant wearing a version of it from the Fall 1996 collection. The hat is made to sit lightly on the top of the head. You can play with which direction you wish the feathers to face. It can literally be worn with the feathers at the front, either side, or at the back, This gives it so much versatility and the feel of it completely changes depends on how you have it sit on the head. It has an attached comb that holds it in place and then the glossy black feathers rise up from there for a very Haute Couture feel. It is an instant shot of high glamour to any outfit and a very collectible piece of Chanel. Excellent condition
Secures to the head with a comb. The base of a black felt wool and the feathers are still glossy and strong with no shedding. It will fit any size head. Each side of the triangle shape measures about 8" long.

This is the second collection of headpieces for Shrimpton Couture, designed and made by hand by the talented Lucia Echavarría of the Magnetic Midnight label. Both this collection and the first that we did together draws its inspiration from some of the most famous headpieces in fashion’s history. Each collection, along with each individual headpiece, is exclusive to Shrimpton Couture.
This collection has been named Egyptomania and Lucia drew her inspiration from ancient Egyptian art and its presence in our cultural imagination. Egyptomania was a term used for the fascination with all things Egyptian in the nineteenth century, a fascination that spread to architecture, art and literature. The movement culminated in the discovery of King Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922; after which, Egyptian motifs pervaded modern culture, art and fashion, becoming an integral part of the language of Art Deco. Cleopatra, its most famous queen, and her countless portrayals in art, literature and film throughout history, equally embodies this fascination with a magnificent past.
Each of the twelve pieces in the collection plays tribute to the dialogue between old and new in a palette combining rich black and gold velvet with gold sequins, mirrors and beads with hints of turquoise, coral and blue. Each is a one of a kind, made by hand masterpiece that feels modern yet evocative and like an incredible vintage find that is both timeless and unique.
The Sphinx headpiece features stacked wood and metal beads and a black velvet base. This piece is entirely handmade and a one off. As a result it may have slight imperfections, which only add to the uniqueness of the piece. To clean any mirrored surfaces, please gently and carefully wipe with a soft cotton cloth moistened with alcohol. In order to protect this piece, please store it in the hard-sided box that it will ship in.
Measures 9" total height from bottom of band to the top x 9" total width. The height from the center of the band to the top is 2.75". The size of the band can be adjusted to fit any size.

Hermes is the gold standard when it comes to producing bags and the ones done in the 1950s and into the 1960s are among my favorites. This is a stunning example of the work they were doing during this time period and it pairs exquisite style with excellent craftsmanship. The bag would have been assembled entirely by hand and is a testament to the excellence demanded by the Hermes ateliers. This bag is made from a calf box leather in a wonderful shade of blue. This is the only one I have ever seen in this color so can only imagine that it was a special order as it is very unique. It has both a long, adjustable one shoulder strap and a wooden top handle. The detailing is done in a gold. The bag opens out completely at the top and is secured by a double turnlock closure. The interior is a combination of blue fabric and leather and features one zip pocket, one slip pocket, and four adjustable leather loops to secure the contents. This would have been used as a vanity or train case in its time period and is just the right size to be used as a bag in our modern times. It presents as being in great condition with some notes to review below.
This bag is in very good overall condition. There is very light, normal scuffing to the exterior leather, minor, normal wear scratching to the hardware. Overall the exterior is in excellent condition with wear consistent with its age and normal use. The interior fabric is discolored and the bottom leather base, the side leather loops and sides shows wear and discoloration. There are no signs of alarming odors or real damage. The interior flaws are all surface damage only. General signs of wear and age. The bag is still infinitely wearable with years and years left to it.
11" Width x 8" Height x 8" Depth. The strap adds 18" to the height

-- Yves Saint Laurent, 1977.
Yves Saint Laurent is one of the most influential fashion designers of our time and his jewels have as much relevance as his clothing. He created exquisite jewellery to complement each of his collections and the creations that incorporate poured glass and the vivid colors of his collections are among the most coveted.
This is an exceptional piece with an over-sized fringe tassle that I believe is a Coppola e Torro detail that is also combined with poured glass. YSL has his jewellery created by many different sources and Torro did many pieces For The Haute Couture designers including Elsa Schiaparelli, Valentino, Pucci, Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, Ken Scott And Roberta Di Camerino. I believe this is one such piece. It is large - the dangling pendant/brooch measures a full 6 inches long and 3 inches across the top portion. This pendant piece slips onto that a thick gold knot chain with a hook and once detached can be worn as a brooch. A very unusual combination. The round accent pieces are a mix of opaque and a more translucent poured glass, combining an opaque coral with blue and green. The tassel is feels like glass beads and are strands of green with each ending in a single red bead. It i s a beautiful piece of costume jewellery.
The pendant is 3" wide x 6" long and the chain is 16" with a slip closure. The logo plate can be found on the back of the pendant. The pendant has a large brooch closure as shown.
