CHANEL SUMMER BAGS

Don't hesitate or contemplate too much about these two 1980s Chanel bags in amazing condition. They will sell fast. From the same stylish owner, both are immaculate and were stored not only in their respected sleeper bags, but also within their black lacquered boxes, too. The violet mini 2.55 is such a great 80s hue. The luncheon sized white ostrich bag is a terrifically tasteful summer bag. We all know most white bags look atrocious, but a Chanel (or Hermes one, for that matter) in ostrich makes white look so right.

Tres Especial des Yves Saint Laurent

These extremely unique Yves Saint Laurent coats were born of the ready to wear collections, but have haute couture coursing through their veins. The lovely purple number below is a purple satin coat covered with vertical stripes of Marabou feathers in both navy and magenta. The second piece is a black cropped lamb skin suede coat with a polished stone boarder and polished stone design on the front of the coat.

Romancing the Trench

Think Ingrid Bergman in Casablanca on the runway, that is what this trench embodies. By far this is one of the most romantic pieces we have in stock. This heather grey flannel Yves Saint Laurent trench coat has princess shoulders, french cuffs, and a amazingly oversized collar.

Hammered Persimmon

The Latin word for persimmon is "Diospyros" which means divine food in Greek. As this is a Donald Brooks grecian one shoulder gown constructed of persimmon hammered silk, all we have to say is eat it up! Persimmon is an amazing summer color, and one that is rarely found, especially in hammered silk. We would recommend this gown for a summer gala, perhaps the summer opera season, or even a MOCA event. For such an event, a chunky avant-garde gold necklace and bracelet paired with gold grecian sandals would complete the perfect summer gala ensemble.

BLACK AND WHITE BALL AT DECADES

Sometimes you just want to keep things simple.

You'll have a ball no matter the circumstance when you put on this Rudi Gernreich long sleeve dress in a less-than-decadent polyester.

Likely from the early 1970s (perhaps Summer 1972), we think you will adore the pop-art feel of this Harlequin-inspired dress. This is the type of dress that might inspire the wearer to plan her own black-and-white party! Send us an invite, please.

Knotty but Nice

The draping on this mauve wool jersey Emanuel Ungaro Parralel dress is stunning! The back panel is twisted showing upper and lower middle back. Either side of the dress is ruched and the bottom half is gathered and tied to one side. The shoulders are pleated at the top which pours down the arms, and is then tied off in a knot. There is a square neck line and V shaped back give this dress a truly unique shape that is extremely appealing on the hanger. On the body the dress falls perfectly and is almost impossible to resist. The color and overall shape of this piece are season-less and look as contemporary as the day it was constructed.
