This is a gorgeous and early Bill Blass coat that has a very unusual design. Either side of the side panels are only sewn together once they reach the lower bust. This creates a wonderful movement to the panels when you move and also allows what you are wearing under it to peek though. It is made out of a gold metallic silk brocade that combines deep coppers and a startling coral. The collar is a neat and high and the shoulders are structured but un-padded. The sleeves are cropped and it closes with hidden set snaps on the bodice so that the line is not broken. Under that the panels of the coat fall on move fabulously around you as you walk. This Bill Blass coat is not 100% perfect but is a very wow piece whose flaws play no true reflection on how it looks once on. Presents as excellent but please rad the full condition notes below.
Fully lined in a coral silk and closes at the front with silk covered, hand set hidden snaps. There is fraying to the edge of the collar, marks on the lining inside the coat and repairs that have been done at some point to the side seams on both sides. Some grubbiness and thinning to the fabric under the interior arms. The coat must have been stored folded for a long time as there are light creased marks here and there in the metallic fabric. I have been working on them after it came back from the cleaners and they will come out eventually after being hung for a time. Please review all photos after the label shot. The lining is more of a coral in person.

This is a beautiful and intricate jacket by Adolfo. Adolfo started his career under Balenciaga and like Halston, was a successful milliner before opening his own fashion house. He became know for his Chanel inspired suiting and some of them are on par and perhaps even more relevant in feel then their inspirational equivalents of the time. This little jacket for example is wonderful example of his work. Adolfo often did custom work for his clients who ranged from the Duchess of Windsor, to Jackie Kennedy Onassis, Gloria Vanderbilt and Nancy Reagan. He even won a Coty Award in 1969. I love his work and am very pleased to have this exceptional jacket in the shop today. It is made of a beautiful pale pink woven boucle that has a rich, luxurious feel to it. The design that runs through the fabric is created by the use of a white and gold thread that is woven through the pink base. He then had faux pearls scattered over the entire jacket. It is surprisingly light and almost more of a light evening sweater weight then that of a true blazer type jacket. The edges of the jacket have a heavy and dense finish of gold thread, more pearls and then colored rhinestones set in among that gold. I has a single hook at the neck. Excellent condition.

The silver grey tag on this top is the label that was used starting in 1994. I went through the collections and narrowed it down to the Spring 2005 as the best possible on that this could be from. It has that same backless, tie, floral feel. This one combines more pf the pleated fabric that has become his signature then the more literal flower pieces shown on the runway. The top is a bright pink and it is made out of what feel like a light cotton linen mix. The front is a simple fabric breast plate that has that incredible detailing on it. The pleated fabric has been attached and manipulated on to this to form a petal like curving structure in the center and then drape around this to the edge. Straps made of the same fabric curve up and over each shoulder and then this crosses down the back and attached to the ties that extend out from each side. They then trail down long past the hips. The side straps tie and then trail down the back in a long extension of pleated fabric. It is amazing and a definite important future collectible that will only increase in value. Excellent condition
The back of the front part is finished in the same fabric as the rest of it is made out of. Tagged a 2 but should fit a range of sizes as long as it is wide enough to give you the coverage needed. The color is a bit brighter and crisper in person.
The main front part is 14" across at the widest part at the bust and it is approx 12" long from top to bottom. The ties adjust to fit

This top is fabulous and the perfect thing to pop on when you want to add a little sparkle. I have it buttoned all the way up but it works equally as well with the top ones undone. The top is made in the couture manner of making a top with the lower part of the silk base having no sequins so that you can tuck it in without having bulk and ruining sequins that would get caught in the tucking of it. Above that the entire top is covered in sequins & little silver tube beads. They are all hand applied in vertical rows hat are tightly spaced so that there are no gaps between. A row of pale pink sequins sits beside a row of the tube beads and then there is a row of silver beads. This patterns covers every square inch. The collar is pointed and it is cut loose and easy through the body. Each sleeve ends in a cuff with a rhinestone encrusted button. More buttons run down the front and one sits on that front pocket. The buttons are just for show. The top actually snaps to close behind them so there is no break from button holes in the sequins at all. It's wonderful. Excellent condition
The sequins are hand sewn directly onto the ivory silk organza base. It snaps to close begin the buttons down the front and on each cuff. Hand done and finished throughout. Shoulder pads loosely tacked in that could easily be removed. I see a couple of tiny nicks out of the silk on the bottom part that has no sequins

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

This incredible bikini is one of two I have in the shop today. This one is slightly smaller then the other and both are equally fabulous. These were all the rage in that 1968 time period. Anyone who was anyone had Pucci in their suitcase as they jetted off to the all hot spots on the planet. The bikini is made out of his signature cotton twill with one of his gorgeous custom designs printed over its surface. This one has a more pastel feeling print with its soft pinks mixed with coral and taupe, all set into a curving pattern. The bikini top is formed and shaped with the inner cups built in. The straps have elastic running through them for comfort and it buttons to close at the back. There are two buttons there and more elastic inside at the sides so that you can get the perfect fit. The bottoms have elastic panels at each side and a fuller coverage over the bum. They are set very low on the hip to balance that extra coverage. This cut was the height of sexy for this time period and considered very daring. At the front a shaped flap of the cotton twill folds over the inner bottom and gives it that distinctive and iconic Pucci feel. These were usually worn to death and much loved and the print often ran a touch on them. This one is in overall great condition with a few small notes below.
The top has inner built in cups and the bottoms are unlined with a cotton gusset. I see no flaws on the top. The bottom has some very light marks on the inner gusset as shown. It is freshly cleaned. The gusset could easily be replaced or removed. There is some minor areas of color run through out that often happens with this fabric from this time period. Please review the shots after the label shot and before the reference photo for the worst areas. Tagged a vintage Pucci 12

This great little Geoffrey Beene top has that classic one shoulder design but with some structure built into the interior for that extra bit of detailing and tailoring that he is known for. The exterior is a knit jersey that has some give but inside there is zip front corset that has built in cups. This interior foundation creates a inner built in bodice that gives support to the wearer. Over this the top buttons to close with white buttons. That white detailing is picked up again with the white piping that finished the edges and details each pocket. One side has a simple cap sleeve and the other leaves the shoulder bare. Love it.

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.

This is a gorgeous hat that I believe to be from the 1997 season. It is made of a felted wool in a bright and vivid purple shade that is quite lovely. It has a high crown that is trimmed by a wide black band. The band combines a black suede and a black patent leather that is intricately braided. The brim is wide and is done with a slight downwards slope that perfectly frames the face. The shape and color give it a bit of drama and it is the perfect pop of color to add to your wardrobe.

This is a wonderful cropped feather jacket that has no label but seems to be well made and is quite fabulous. The color of the feathers is a true black and they are wonderfully fluffy and soft. It has a fur hook to close it at the neck and the sleeves are long and cut fairly straight so that the balance the cropped cut of the jacket. I love this short cropped feel and the volume it creates to perfectly balance out wearing something slim underneath. Very rock and roll chic. It has that bit of a current Saint Laurent feel to it and the length means it can top just above anything. Excellent condition

I have a small collection of historically important, key designer labelled vintage furs, fur trimmed & feather pieces stored away in my archives that I will be slowly posting on the site over the next couple of years until I have none left. I will no longer be buying furs for the shop moving forward and have not purchased anything for several years now. I feel like times have changed and while there still is a place for vintage furs for some, including collectors and historians, many modern girls are choosing other options. Many of the pieces in my collection are representative of the designer during a set time period in history that was different then our modern outlook. I have decided that the best course to handle this controversial issue is to let the pieces I have go rather then sit in a cold storage unit. All fur coats, fur trimmed & feather pieces are final sale.

This Oscar de la Renta jacket is a production piece based on what was show on the runway that season. The same pattern was used on several pieces in the runway show and I have included reference photos of those so you can see how closely the design on this jacket was carried over.
The jacket is gorgeous and has that classic ODLR feel to it with a touch of exoticism. The workmanship is beautiful and I love how the colors pop off the black velvet back drop. It is cut in a simple boxed shape with the slightest of curving in at the waist. It has no collar, cuffs or hem so that the applique work that has been done on it can take full center stage. The sequin & embroidery work follow the runway presentation almost exactly with a heavy collar and cuffs formed from the sequins done in tightly spaces rows of different colors and patterns. Little cross patterns made of white sequins topped with different colored threads are scattered over the body of the jacket. Down either side of the front edge and in a heavy border all around the bottom hem is more of the dense workmanship. It is gorgeous and even better on person. Excellent condition

This gorgeous Christian Dior plaid scarf is huge and absolutely gorgeous. It dates from the late 1970s, early 1980s and is a mix of a deep red print with black base. The middle red print is bordered on all four corners by an intricate paisley print. A contrasting black border anchors both these elements and goes all the way around the outer edge. It is made of a fine silk and wool mix that is extremely light and pliable - it is the same weight and feel as a fine Hermes piece. Hand fringed edges. 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 Christian logo is screened directly onto the fabric and it is tagged with its content mix. It is freshly cleaned and it looks to have been worn very little if at all.

I have no background on this top but it is all done by hand and is quite fabulous. The base is a black cotton velvet and I love the shape of the entire top. The sleeves end just above the wrist and the flare out and are rounded at their cuffs, curving upwards on the inside part of the sleeve. This same curved feel is done on the hem that curves down at the front and back and then up at the sides in the same way that the sleeves do. Onto the velvet is a dense application of a gold metallic cording that completely covers the front of the tunic. It goes all around the hem and finishes each sleeve and the collar. A heart shaped medallion sits on the back. It zips to close at the neck and the collar is high. Interspersed in the cording are little mirrors surrounded by a gold metal wire. All the cording mirrors are done by hand and you can clearly see that work on the back. Great condition with a note to review below
Unlined and slips on the wear with a zipper at the front neck. There is some fading to the velvet across the shoulders and the back of the collar. Please see the final photo. Slight patina to the mirrors which is normal for a piece of this age. All the cord work and mirrors were hand applied.

I love this Yves Saint Laurent piece. I just had a blue version of this in the shop and I was thrilled to have a red one come into my hands so quickly after that one. The color of the red sequins is amazing and every square inch of the piece is finished with them. The neckline is slightly scooped and set wide across the neck which allows for a little bit of skin to show on the top of your shoulders. The shoulders are set to feel slightly slouchy and that easy feel carries through the body of the top. It almost feels like some kind of a glam sweatshirt in the way that it sits once on. The sleeves fall to just below the elbows and the body of the tunic dress is cut to skim over the body in an easy, relaxed way. The front is cut a touch shorter then the back. The sequins are a brilliant true red and in person the color is even better then how it photoed. I love the detailing around the cuff of each sleeve and the bottom hem. It creates the impression of a ribbed sweater but this is all actually done with hand placed tube beads and sequins running in horizontal rows. Excellent condition

I think one of my favorite vintage pieces is the full length maxi skirts by Pucci. His velvet are amazing and the print and colors that they were done in can't be beat. You can throw them on with just about anything topping them and it works. The prints are so vibrant and bright that they act like a neutral and they work as well with flats as they do with a heel so are infinitely versatile. This one is done in a brilliant and bright green velvet that has a spectacular grape vine print running over its surface. The skirt also has borders worked into the print that separate out the top from the bottom and give it visual interest. I love the deep purple and blues used to make up that design. They pop off the green beautifully. The cut is classic Pucci and shaped into a simple A-line silhouette that falls to the floor in a graceful sweep of fabric. The velvet gives it enough weight to hold the shape so it falls perfectly once on. These can really be worn year round as the velvet is a cotton version so breathes well. It is just fantastic and I love it. Excellent condition

Is there anything better then a full length velvet Pucci skirt? I think they are one of my favorite vintage pieces and everyone should have one in their closet. You can throw them on with just about anything and it works. The colors in them and the prints are just wonderful. It is literally like wearing a work of art. They work as well with flats as they do with a heel. Here we have a stunning version done in A slightly more subtle print for him, but it still has one of his signature designs worked onto the fabric. This one suggests long and winding tassels that are suspended from a diamond grid that circles the hips. The cut is slightly different from his classic streamlined silhouette. It has more volume and sweep then his usual maxi skirts. This is created by a long inverted pleat that runs down the front and even my photos do not give it justice as far as how full the bottom is by the time it reaches the hem. The velvet gives it enough weight to hold the shape so it always looks perfect once on. On each hip there are slash pockets for the perfect finish. These can be worn year round as they are made out of a cotton velvet so breathes well. It is just fantastic and I love it. Excellent condition with one minor note below

This is a knee length cotton velvet skirt by Emilio Pucci that has been done in a beautiful mix of happy and bright colors. Shade of a pink, purples and lavender are mixed with pops of cherry, blacks and ivories. All the colors are set in a swirling, curving design that covers the entire surface. The edge of the hem is printed with a contrasting design, a signature Pucci flourish and one that makes it instantly recognizable as being his work. That wonderful mix of colors make you happy to just look at it. It is an instant pop of color and an easy way top add a little vintage to your wardrobe.

I love these velvet jackets that Pucci designed. They are very versatile and an easy way to add a pop of vintage into a modern wardrobe. The jacket is cut to perfectly work as a layering piece and because it buttons all the way up it can play double duty and can be worn on its own as a top. The fabric choice holds the colors exceptionally well and it gives them an extra layer of richness and texture. This one is a stunning mix of pink and purple tones mixed with a a soft baby blue. The print is one of my favorites, combining various flowers that cover the entire the jacket. It has a small and neat collar and the cut skims the body to just over the hip. A contrasting printed border runs down the front, details the collar and circles the cuffs and hem. This color combination is just gorgeous and it is a really pretty piece of Pucci. Excellent condition with a small note below

This great vintage skirt by Emilio Pucci instantly makes you think of summer with its happy citrus color combination. It is deceptively simple in cut, and that simplicity is deliberate, allowing the beauty of that custom screened cotton to shine. The colors are pure happiness - a mix of yellows, corals, greens and pinks, all edged in fine black line and signed throughout with that famous Pucci signature. The cut is done so that there is one extra wide pleat panel of fabric that runs down the front. It is made of a thicker twill weight cotton which allows it to hold its shape when on. His signature borders finish the waist and hem. Excellent condition

Pucci's velvet pieces always have an extra layer of richness and texture to them because of the fabric choice, plus, nothing holds those vibrant colors that he preferred better then a cotton velvet can. This top uses a great mix of brights colors anchored with a solid black panel. It has slightly scooped neckline that is cut wide across to show a touch of the top of your shoulders. From there is is cut loose and easy through the body and is slightly cropped to land just above the upper hip area. I love the unusual mix of the prints and the cross design worked into the pattern. He uses one of his signature contrasting borders to anchor the lower hem. The perfect finish on this one is how it buttons up back with a row of little velvet covered buttons. Excellent condition

This is a gorgeous cotton velvet skirt by Emilio Pucci that has been done in a beautiful mix of vibrant colors. Bright primary colors mix with startling turquoises, blacks and ivories within the sharply angled geometric design that runs across the surface. The edge of the hem is printed with a contrasting design, a signature Pucci flourish and one that makes it instantly recognizable as being his work. That heavy mix of colors will make it an easy addition to your existing wardrobe as virtually anything can be paired up with it. It is an instant pop of color and will never go out of style. Excellent condition with a small note to review below
The skirt is fully lined in an ivory silk and closes with a side painted metal zipper and a flat hook and eye at the waist. The inner lining shows some minor discoloration but nothing that effects the exterior. Perhaps a touch of grubbiness to the lighter parts of the velvet and a touch of wrinkling to the velvet at the waist band. All minor.

I Have a Question
This top is fantastic and one of the best of hers that I have had in the shop. Plus, it had the added bonus of having the earliest Janice Wainwright at Forty Seven Poland Street label. Pieces with this label are from the beginning of her career and for me, really showcase her talent and are among the very best of her work.
This pretty little bohemian spirited top is made of a black crepe chiffon and simply slips on, wraps and then ties into place. There is a partially attaches tie belt that allows you to do this. This also adds some detail and shape to the back where it is attached. The wrapping of it give it a plunging front and makes the fit through the bust easy. Each sleeve is cuffed and slightly full above those. Under the waist it has a little peplum effect that is very pretty. Her signature embroidery covers this one in a dense pattern of silver and gold thread peacock feathers. These are highlighted with soft pop of pink too. I love how the edges pick up the silver of the feathers with a silver metallic cording. It's just wonderful. Excellent condition

I Have a Question
This is a beautiful Yves Saint Laurent top that is a true piece of Haute Couture. It comes directly from the daughter of the original owner. Her mother purchased it along with many of the other couture pieces I have had in the shop from this collection. Her mother removed the label on this one because it showed through the sheerness of the top. A similar top with different sleeves was just a part of the Zizi Jeanmarie collection auctioned at Christie’s. In an interesting note, they had theirs dated as being from 1990, however, my client was no longer buying couture by then so it is absolutely earlier. I have included that as a reference for you. This one actually has more extensive embroidery and beadwork that that version did, with the sleeves and the back especially. The auction piece sold for $1125 euros plus a 25% buyers premium and a 5.5% additional cost. That translates to just under $1800USD.
The workmanship on this top is absolutely exquisite. The top is entirely hand made as the parameters of Haute Couture define. The silk chiffon used is of the finest possible grade and you can feel the difference at first touch. I love the extensive embroidery and bead work that covers the exterior. The level of workmanship is extraordinary and it is almost certainly the work of the Lesage ateliers. It forms an intricate pattern over the silk chiffon that completely covers the sleeves and the top from the waist up. Under the waist the top has no embroidery work so that it does not get ruined when you tuck it onto your skirt or trousers. At the back the zipper extends past the lower hem. Both of these details are done in the manner that Couture pieces were finished during this time period. The workmanship is extensive and the time it would have taken to create this piece is extraordinary. I have included photos of it with the skirt that I had from the same owner. You can see how it tucks perfectly under the waist band of the skirt to give the illusion of there being nothing underneath there. It is an absolute work of art and a stunning example of Haute Couture during this time period. Excellent condition with one small note below
Backed in a nude silk chiffon and closes down the back with a hand set zipper that extends beyond the hem in the traditional Haute Couture manner. Entirely hand done. Note that there is a slight texture change to the silk under each arm with minor discoloration. There is no evidence of it on the exterior.

This pretty little Pucci tunic is done in one of his classic pink prints. It is so simple in its cut but that gorgeous Pucci print gives it a ton of impact. The colors are as crisp and true as the day it was made. The shapes and design are quintessentially Pucci and instantly recognizable. The pastels he has used on this one are edged and highlighted by pops of black. It has a pretty V neck at the front and through the body it is cut straight with each side ending in a notch. This is what gives it its true tunic feel. The neck, hem and cuffs are all detailed with one of his contrasting borders and that same print also runs down each sleeve. The fabric is a fine silk twill that has that same weight and feel as an Hermes scarf. This is an easy to wear top that is a perfect little piece of fashion history. Excellent condition.
The top is unlined and slips over the head. Hand finished. Tagged vintage Pucci 8. The fabric is also signed throughout. The classic tunic cut will allow it to work on a range of sizes. Note the colors in person are even prettier

I just love the pretty butterfly bow print that covers the surface of this Chloe top. they are done in a gorgeous red on a navy backdrop. There is also a secondary print in a a different finish blue thread and the effect is wonderful. The top is made from a scarf weight silk that holds the color beautifully. The sleeves are shorter on this one making it perfect for warmer weather. I love that they have a slight poufed shape to them and that each is finished with a turned up cuff. The collar is cut to be small and neat collar and the top still has its tie that you can tie into a proper bow tie if you wish to emulate on the print. The body of the top is cut loose and easy as it falls from the shoulders. This makes it equally great to wear tucked or un-tucked. There is a little button detail on one side of the front that is the perfect finishing touch. It is chic and easy to wear. Excellent condition.

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.

This beautiful silk blouse is a classic from Yves Saint Laurent. It is an amazing color and print combination - a gorgeous plaid down in vibrant red and a deep blue on a fine silk. It has that signature Yves Saint Laurent tie at the neck. Each sleeve is cut to puff slightly above the two button cuff. The attached tie at the neck sits above a lower set neckline so when you tie it you get a glimpse of skin under the bow. It is set so that it extends out from the collar itself with no unbroken line at the back of the neck. The ties hang with one set a touch longer then the other the front so that when it is tied you get the same length ends falling from the bow. The combination of the tie at the neck and the high end silk used as the fabric really makes for a dynamic result. The silk is a beautiful, rich weighted silk that drapes wonderfully. This is a true 1970s version and hard to find. Excellent condition.

It is made from a scarf weight silk that holds that bright color beautifully. The sleeves are wonderful and each is cut with a slight fullness above the cuffs. They are inset into the shoulder with gathers so are a touch fuller at the top. The body of the top is cut loose and easy as it falls from the padded shoulders. I love the high collar that is designed to stand up to frame the neck. It even has a little hidden snap that closes it off perfectly and holds it exactly in place. It's all drama and high eighties glamour. Excellent condition.

This is a gorgeous and chic silk top from the Valentino boutique label that proves that great design is eternal. The top is made from a beautiful light weight silk that has a graphic pattern completely covering its surface. The pattern is of little squares turned on their sides so they look like a diamond shape. In the center of each is another tiny square. These form a graphic pattern that entirely covers the silk. The cut is loose and generous which makes it feel light and easy to wear once on. The collar is kept neat and small with a row of buttons running part way down at the neck so that you can button it compeletly up or leave it more casual and unbuttoned. Each sleeve is cuffed to allow for a pouf of volume above. Excellent condition with one tiny note below.

This great little top is fabricated from what looks to be a cotton that has a fine ribbing worked into the fabric that you can see best in the shot of the label. The color is the palest soft green that is so soft that in some lights it looks to be more of a white. The collar and front are piped in a red and the seams around the sides of the body and over the shoulders are finished in a green piping. The loose and easy cut are signature YSL and I love that this classic shape is mixed with this unusual fabric choice. This particular silhouette makes you instantly think of Yves and the seventies. The sleeves are incredible - each is very, very full above the single button cuff. The cut through the body is generous and it buttons to close down the front. I love it. Excellent condition with one note below to review

Beautiful Chanel 2003 collection necklace. The metal is gold toned and with big chunky engraved links. It has a double loop of chain and close with a hook at the back of the neck. Suspended from one of those chains is a large medallion that wraps a circle of the same chain around the classic Double C Chanel logo. The CC logo is then set with crystal rhinestones on both sides. Note that there are three rhinestones missing on one side. You can just wear it to the other side or replace the missing ones. It is set at a great price for Chanel because of this.
17" long, adjustable. Medallion is 2" wide and tall. Made in France and guaranteed authentic. Appropriate stamped tag with date and origin on clasp. The dress form it is photoed on is life size so illustrates how it sits on a real girl well. No box.

Beautiful Chanel gold link belt that can play triple duty as a belt, be worn as a necklace or even work as a headpiece like Cherie wore when she shot this velvet 1920s coat. It wraps and hooks around the waist with a looped, attached chain. The chain is what allows it to play more then one role. At the end of the chain that hangs down, it has a large gold drop medallion that mimics a huge drop of amber with a 3D Chanel double C logo suspended inside. Excellent condition with normal patina to the gold.

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.
