I'm Allergic To Bees!

Usually if someone mentioned a honeycomb we would go running for fear of Anaphylaxis. But when that honeycomb is Gianni Versace we are more than willing to risk life and limb if it means achieving beauty perfected. The dress is constructed from a purple and green striped material that has been woven in a 3D honeycomb pattern. The dress is strapless and has a good amount of stretch to give you that classically sexy body-hugging silhouette. The bottom of the dress flares out giving it a flawless mermaid shape. This dress is right at home on the red carpet or flitting about a garden party, just watch out for those bees.

Gianni Versace honeycomb green and purple stripe strapless dress, c.90's. Contemporary size 2-4 SOLD

Age of Aquarius

Finding inspiration in nature was nothing out of the ordinary for Yves Saint Laurent. Whether it was a necklace paying tribute to the sun, or green earrings that reminded him of the mint garden growing up, he was the master of taking elements found in nature and turning them into exceptional creations. These iridescent earrings tell the story of life underwater. Picture the woman of Atlantis wearing these magnificent jewels, as they walk each Swarovski crystal produces a display of lustrous, rainbow-like colors. Now that's a sight to see!

Canary in Guy Major

Just in time for that last Summer soiree we present a canary yellow day dress by Guy Laroche. The timeless scoop neck and princess shoulders provide sophisticated drama. The skirt has a lovely bell shape and is gathered at the bottom creating what can only be described as a slight bubble. We would pair this with a vibrant green or red thick belt to break it up a bit. This is a sassy and very easy look to pull of at that inevitable "farewell to Summer" party.

Because we love to love you, please find a marvelous fall Hermes ebene 32 cm Kelly in box leather with coordinating brown pony fur panels.

HERMES BUFFET

One of our favorite clients is moving, so she asked Decades to help us edit her Hermes collection!

Hermes OSTRICH 35cm Birkin in Saffron, F Stamp 2002. Excellent SOLD condition...plastic removed from hardware.

A note about Hermes and ostrich skin: According to our friends at Hermes, the production of ostrich skin handbags has been severely decreased by lack of high quality large skins. 35 cm Birkins are virtually non-existent at present. This bag was hardly used and comes from an avid Hermes collector who stored the bag for 7 years.
