It’s officially spring sweater weather and we’ve got some vintage beauties here for you. Our striking centre YSL ikat knit cardigan is all you need to add some pizzaz to a plain outfit. For a more conservative look then the Chanel cardigan on the left should fit the bill. Falling somewhere in between the two, style wise, is a beautifully embellished 1950’s number from “Ethel in Beverly Hills’. Some weekend chic looks for all.

Some off white options here and now to keep you chic from day to night. We’re going back 40-80 years with this trio! Our 1940’s centre satin slip would look great outside of the boudoir by wearing another slip underneath for that boho layered look. The 1980’s Hermes terry cloth dress is very plush, cuddly and waterside ready. Representing the contemporary category is a classic Gucci pleated dress that can be dressed up or down. Please contact us for more details.
