PURSES:

BALENCIAGA ‘Rose Magenta Classic Mini City Bag’

Balenciaga’s iconic “City Bag” comes in a variety of sizes, colors, and leather and hardware options.  This one is pretty in dark pink grained lambskin with silver “Classic Hardware”.  A great everyday bag, with a not so everyday provenance.  Balenciaga’s signature style is recognizable from a distance, and the bold pink is sure to pop in the sunshine.  This petite “Classic Mini City” crossbody satchel is in brand new condition, complete with original tags, mirror, and dust bag.  Size 9.5″ [W] x 6.5″ [H] x 3.5″ [D].  The “Classic Mini City Bag” currently retails for $1,650, our price is $899.

SHOES:

FENDI Tri-Tone Leather Espadrille-Trimmed ‘Croc Embossed Junia’ Slip-On Flats, Size 7.5

Espadrille woven trim is a summertime expectation, but Fendi has put a twist on an otherwise traditional seasonal flat: the black leather slipper slide is subtly trimmed in deep navy, and is topped off by a dark black patent croc-embossed cap toe.  A triple textured, tri-hued knock-out of a casual shoe.  In fantastic condition.  Fits like a 7.5, European 38.5.  Originally retailed for $825, our price is $249.

CHANEL Black Patent and Felted Camellia Open Toe Kitten Heel Slides, Size 9.5 – SOLD

Steep slides can be challenging, but these gentle 3-inch heels are walk-able and ladylike.  The vamp is covered by a 2-inch wide strap, and made elevated and complete by a felted wool camellia atop the foot; a serene yet unexpected juxtaposition of material for the season.  Hidden deep within the structured flower’s center is a small signature CC enamel button, secretly placed, though the shoe’s Chanelness speaks through the camellia alone.  Fits like a 9.5, though sized a European 41.5.  In good condition.  Priced at $249. SOLD

ACCESSORIES:

HERMÈS ‘Reve D’Australie’ Silk Scarf by Zoé Pauwels – SOLD

Titled “Dream of Austrailia” and originally designed in 1999, this gorgeous silk scarf by Hermès artist, Zoé Pauwels, is a beautifully inspired interpretation of the mystic beginnings of the natural world Down Under, giving homage to Aboriginal art and their “Dreamtime” beliefs. 

“The Dreamtime is a commonly used term for describing important features of Aboriginal spiritual beliefs and existence. It is not generally well understood by non-indigenous people. Aboriginals believe that the Dreamtime was way back, at the very beginning. The land and the people were created by the Spirits.”*

While all Hermes scarves are works of art, this one is truly a masterpiece of both traditional Aboriginal style and layered history.  Size 35 x 35″ square.  Priced at $299. SOLD

TOM FORD Golden Amber to Black Square-Framed ‘Helene’ Sunglasses – SOLD

Edgy yet glamorous, these oversized shades are a fabulously stylish accessory.  The translucent smokey amber color fades into subtle tortoise-shell to black side stems, and while unique in color, they remain oddly subdued in their hue, allowing them to pair nicely with sunny days year round.  Like new, with box.  The “Helene” sunglasses currently retail for $445, our price is $199.  SOLD

PRADA Blushing Cream ‘SPR 09Q Cinema’ Sunglasses – SOLD

Look like a movie star the next time you go to the cinema in these blushing cream squared cat-eye frames by Prada.  The pale color of these sunnies reflect the freshness of summer, and are a fierce fashion-forward marriage between aviator and vintage cat-eye styles.  Gold tone top bar, bridge, and narrow side stems add simple structure and a bit of measured glam.  Like new, with case.  Priced at $169. SOLD

JEWELRY:

JAMIE JOSEPH Large Oval Labradorite Ring, Size 7.5 – SOLD

Labradorite is thought to be a magical stone, sometimes known as the “Light In The Dark”, as its natural illumination seems to shine from the inside out.  This piece is a magnificent stone, not only in size, but in its deep blue tone.  This mesmerizing rich aqua semi-precious crystal measures 29mm long by 14mm wide, and is set in Jamie Joseph’s signature 14k yellow gold bezel and sterling band.  Size 7.5.  With box and pouch.  This hypnotizing ring originally retailed approximately $900, our price is $449. SOLD

JAMIE JOSEPH Linen Sapphire Ring, Size 6.75 – SOLD

Linen is one of the most quintessential summer fabrics, and we now have an amazing ring to match that natural ease.  Jamie Joseph uses this stone often due to the creamy tone that radiates hints of golden hues, creating a depth of natural color that shines a fire from within.  This style features an oblong shaped stone with organic micro faceting, creating a shimmer that will mesmerize you all day long.  Trimmed in Jamie’s signature 14k gold bezel that rests atop a hand hammered sterling band.  The stone measures 15mm long by 9mm wide.  Size 6.75.  With pouch.  Retailed approximately $785, our price is $399.  SOLD

PURSES:

CHANEL Tan Distressed Quilted Patent ‘Classic Mini Flap Bag’  – SOLD
