Hermès scarves for £40 each, a Dior belt
for £100 and a Versace suit for £150…where am I?
Until a few days ago, I’d say I was
dreaming!
These are the kinds of prices that cause
stampedes in department stores, garment tug of war’s and bring out the very
worst on those of us consumed by fashion!
I’m please do say that I’m neither camped
outside some kind of top secret sample sale, nor am I blissfully fast asleep
whispering sweet nothings to myself about Hermes… I’m actually at an Auction!
Kerry Taylor Auctions are specialist in
Antique, Vintage fashion and Textiles and their last sale was like a fashion
treasure trove! A must have experience for anyone interested in Fashion, her
last catalogue spanned 100’s of years of fashion history with everything from
18th century garments, through to vintage couture…
You’re in the wrong place if your trying to
find a Chanel jacket for a tenner (stick to car boot sales for that kind of hidden
gem), but if you want something special for a fraction of its relative current
price it could be for you!
