The season is in full swing, with many events still to look forward to or to book for 2005. The BIG question is, what will you wear and how much will you spend on fashion when it comes to those special occasions? Ascot, Goodwood, York Races, Cheltenham Races, Henley, weddings, summer fetes, garden parties, summer balls and masquerades. Special occasions which deserve special outfits.
I think we can all agree - whatever you choose, it’s got to be absolutely fabulous. However, absolutely fabulous can come with an exceptionally high price tag, especially if it’s designer fashion. That’s where the preloved, preowned market comes into its own. When we want to impress, dazzle and sparkle - perhaps even show off just that little bit - without breaking the bank.
We specialise in a huge range of dresses including preloved long, sequined evening gowns (beautifully crafted), linen and cotton jackets, flowing, wafting maxi dresses, complete wedding outfits with boned bodices, pastel, natural colours, hot cocktail dresses with high hems, one shoulder dresses, hi lo rise … in fact, we have something that is perfect for any event. And our fashion collections suit all budgets, tastes and sizes, personally curated by myself
From this preloved Cattina silk three piece trouser set made up of a silk sleeveless grey top, silk grey loose trousers and silk mix long dress coat retailing at £1000. Our price is £395. Size 18.
To a Self Portrait Lucille Collection unlined, sleeveless, mesh panels, wide pleated skirt and fitted bodice dress with feature black grosgrain trim borders to shoulders, neckline and upper waist. £150. Size 8.
Whether you want high-end pieces, are on a budget or are passionate about the environment, then preloved occasion dresses and outfits are absolutely the way to go.
And then of course then there are the accessories - because if we want to complement any special outfit, we do need to accessorise effectively.
Our fashion accessory collection includes an amazing range of hats, hatinators, fascinators, Chanel earrings, preloved designer bags (authenticated by Entrupy) and beautiful soft leather, rock-studded, tassel-featured, you name it, shoes. From designer sandals that tower or flats and ballerina shoes in which you can dance the night away.
This is a preowned Rebecca Couture hatinator; British millinery at its best. Handcrafted with feathers, peacock feathers and ribbon with wide brim - this is a stunning hat. Retail price £525. Our price £250.
We are also known, of course, for preloved bags and can include within that collection, a number of clutches, small shoulder bags (a gorgeous unused white Louis Vuitton Nano Speedy for example - pictured here) metallic, silver and sparkly. Or why not go bold with gold. Preloved is just perfect for weddings, races, garden parties and so much more.
I don’t really need to state it here, but I will anyway - I love all the preloved designer fashion names and the wide range of luxury brands that move quickly through the shop because the styles range from eclectic and vintage, to classic and timeless. So much has the ‘oooooh’ factor. There is always a chance that you might find that one-off, couture outfit that no one else will be wearing to a wedding because it isn’t in the department stores or on the high street…it’s in my shop or online. If you can’t find what you are looking for this week - there’s a very good chance it will be brought into the store the following week. And at this point, I have to mention my incredible clients with the most amazing careers, lifestyles and backgrounds who believe in sustainable, eco fashion and want to share their windfalls, gifts and unused pieces with others.
Don’t just make a fashion statement, make a lifestyle statement.
