Hi all,

Okay, here it is – the big one. I’ve been collecting for 35 years and over that time I’ve accumulated a great deal of vintage and antique fashion and sewing supplies. I need to move into a smaller space so a lot of fabulous and collectable pieces will be going out to new homes at bargain prices.

Note that this isn’t a closing sale, it’s a “no one needs 15,000 pieces of vintage fashion” sale to allow me to concentrate on what I do best. Today we’ve been selecting items and I have to tell you that there’s some sensational items going in, including a beaded silk Ceil Chapman ’50s ballgown, cocktail and party dresses, designer fashions from Dior, Kenzo, Comme des Garcons, all kinds of good things.
