Victorian Beaded Capelet
Black Victorian Cape with stand-up Mandarin style collar, heavily beaded with waist length
bugle bead trimming, a small amount of the bugle bead trimming is missing
(this garment is after all over 100 years old) this can be quite easily sympathetically repaired,
 without showing any obvious repair work.
This garment is quite small measuring approx 40cm from shoulder to shoulder,
 but it can be worn open giving a more relaxed look, and being more versatile in size!
A truly beautiful piece of Victorian History that can be lovingly worn & cherished today!
Highly Collectable!!!

1980's Chanel Revival



Power dressing went to extremes....
Shoulders were BIG! 
Hair was BIG! 
Heels were BIG!   
Jewellery was  BIG!


  


Pearls ...make those lots of Pearls…..
รก la COCO-Style,
 were THE essential accessory


The 1980’s saw the
Revival of the early days of CHANEL, but brought to us with a big bold BANG!











If you could not get the real thing, it was permitted to

FAKE IT!
