Colour Clash

Last week we were all rather muted (well other than the bright orange) with greens and neutrals. This week it is all about the colour clash!

Our customers want to be wowed and so sometimes we try to mix things up with colour combinations, not normally though of. So why not Purple and Orange?
Regal Purples with a splash of Citrus Orange to give it some zest! Also mixing some prints and various textures of fabric into the mix and we have a rather fun window.

Purple silk Franck et Fils dress £60
Orange Topshop print dress (new) £24
Whistles funky strap purple silk dress £24
Armani cream trousers £30
Cashmere jumper £18
Witchery jacket £20 £10
Belts from £4 each and Shoes from £7

We also have this gorgeous floral print, signed and numbered 78/450 by the artist, Siriol Sherlock for £70 £40.
Just make sure you have a wall big enough!
Approx size as 28inch (71cm) x 22inch (56cm)

Even our fella dummy looks rather dapper this week in his TM Lewin checked shirt £8, and his Harrods tie £6 and this funky denim and cotton/wool mix jacket £20.
(Shirt and Jacket are both medium sized.)



By for now

Give in to Givenchy

Yet another donation which made me take a deep breath. Amazing items from last week are slowly being valued and priced and made presentable for sale, this is the first.... 

These 2 piece dress/shirt combination is Givenchy, but I guess I gave it away in the title!
The house of Givenchy was founded in 1952 by designer Hubert de Givenchy.
This is more 1980's then 1950's, but it is still a lovely piece on clothing.

The dress is embellished with multicoloured 'gems' in the top of the bodice. The shirt is covered at the cuffs and trim with the same 'gems' giving the overall outfit both subtle and not so subtle eye catching light.
They are both a size 10 (eur 38) but I would say they would fit a 12 (eur 40) as the dress and blouse are very loose fitting.



We couldn't find anything similar on the ol' internet and our friends in the know hadn't seen anything before, so I say it is super rare!* ha. 
(*don't quote me on that.)


There is some damage to this though, on the dress part there is a hole - see photo - but when both are worn you can't really see it.

Due to the damage this outfit is sold as seen.
£260

Wear the piece as the complete ensemble or just the dress for an evening out, or throw the blouse over a simple black camisole for instant glamour.

Bye for now
