CHIC IN CHANEL!

 

Classic Chanel

 

Classic Collections is chock full of Chanel jackets, suits, dresses, purses and shoes right now!  We are so delighted to see this quantity and quality of chic Chanel merchandise that represents the greatest hits of this epic designer fashion icon!

 

With the changing trends of fashion swirling around us, one steadfast rule is that a piece of Chanel will always make an outfit quintessentially chic!

Chanel, 
always Chic

Gone are the days when Chanel suits were only worn to "ladies luncheons".  Now, those suit jackets pair beautifully with jeans, leggings, and short, trendy dresses.  Chanel skirts are worn with leather and jeans jackets, pashmina shawls and sexy tops. 

 

Craving Classic Chanel??

 

 

Classic Chanel purses and shoes are worn by every age with everything from teen clothing to classic casual to vintage inspired outfits.  They are the gold standard of a polished fashsionista that can immediately designate any wearer as "with it"....no matter the occasion.

 
 Treat yourself to a little Chanel indulgence!  Right now, some of our Chanel merchandise is 25% off and, believe us, these items will not last!

 

UPCOMING
LOUIS-VUITTON-A-THON!!!  

 

Louis Vuitton-A-Thon 
March 2013

 

An extremely anticipated event is Classic Collection's annual "Louis Vuitton-a-Thon" which is held each spring!  We are currently accepting consignments for authentic, genuine current and antique pieces of Louis Vuitton trunks, luggage, handbags, briefcases, accessories, clothing, scarves, jewelry and books.  

 

 

We plan to begin our event this year on April 1 

(no fooling!) and, if prior years are any measure, we will

LV Lumineuse PM

have Louis Vuitton treasures piled up in our front showroom to the chandeliers!  

 

So, please go through your closets, garages and storage spaces and consider bringing us your unused, yet still coveted Louis Vuitton pieces.  It's a good idea to call before coming in, especially if you have several large items that we may have to store before the event 

(561-833-3633).

 

DRESSES FOR DAMES!

 

Pucci Goes
Anywhere
Have you been reading the fashion press
Gorgeous Galanos
lately?  Almost every page is brimming with the most wonderful variety of trending spring dresses. Of course, half of the trends come from different eras, so while the styles look vaguely familiar, in an
"everything old is new again" mode, you will see rich patterns, polka dots, tailored shirt-dresses and lavishly draped silks and jerseys.
 
Lisa Perry Colorblock

 

 Channeling your inner Mad Men Mode, you can renew your look with a  color-blocked Lisa Perry spring frock, and dress it up with a bright, colorful handbag and shoe ensemble. Why not put on those big, round sunglasses and tie an Hermes scarf around your head a la Grace Kelly?

   

 

 



Looking for something comfortable
Roberto Cavalli
yet sexy and pack-able?  We have an assortment of dresses from the collections of Alberto Ferretti,  Roberto Cavalli, Pucci and others.  Known for their fine fabrics, interesting, form fitting styles and whimsical and jaunty prints, these designers have cornered the market for fashions that can be dressed up, travel well (think in a tiny, little carry-on) and are flattering to almost all figures!

 

Marvelous Marchesa
Always glamorous, we can't forget the delightful and timeless styles of Pierre Balmain, Galanos, Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Marchesa and others.
  While perhaps out of bounds budget-wise if purchased new, these traditional and classic dresses are affordable and a treasure to find at consignment boutiques. 
Right now, Classic Collections has a selection of these designers for your shopping pleasure...but hurry in...they go fast!

 

HANDSOME SPRING HANDBAGS 

 

 

 

Handbags-are they a fashion accessory or a necessary part of a woman's lifestyle?  Theoretically a handbag can be both-depending on size, style and color.  For instance, in our culture, a "handbag" is a handled medium-to-large bag that is generally used to carry personal items such as a wallet, cosmetics, mobile phone, keys, hairbrush, etc. 

Lana Marks Croc 

Many handbag styles offer the same general shape, but come with a shoulder strap, thus freeing the hands to brush said hair, talk on said cell phone and still eat at the same time.

  

A larger handbag, often with two long handles, is called a tote and typically one can fit almost all of life's necessities in these roomy, bottomless creations. 

Hermes
Pop Up Tote

Often made with interior pockets and zippered compartments, these babies are indispensable to the modern working woman-they hold iPods, iPads, flat extra shoes, bottled water, multiple pairs of eye and sun glasses, emergency nail repair kits, totally complete makeup and dental supplies, and occasionally, the "maybe I'll be gone overnight" change of clothes.  It is definitely deemed dangerous for anyone other than the owner to delve into a tote-you never know the things one might find!  

 

Judith Leiber 
Snakeskin 

Of course, there are the beautiful and minimal clutches.  Much smaller than regular purses, and usually

rectangular (although we have seen some terrific square and oval shapes), they are often used for dressy evenings and can be made of silk, velvet, crystals, exotic skins and semi-precious gems.

   

   

Nancy Gonzalez
Crocodile Clutch
 
"Ladies Who Lunch" often carry the exotic skin clutches in a wonderful variety of colors and shapes which, naturally, are then casually laid down on the luncheon table to be admired! 

 

 

CHARMING COSTUME JEWELRY 


1920's Art Deco
Paper Mache
If current, vintage, handmade or fanciful costume jewelry is your passion, come on in. We have such an amazing selection of unique and
1930's Czech Glass Choker

les and beads, that there is something for everyone.

Carved coral and bone necklace

Consider the vintage paper mache and deco beads on silk from the 1920's, or the Czech 
jet glass choker from the 1930's.The old white jade pendant with a large amethyst on purple silk cording is very different, as is the Chinese carved bone and coral necklace.

We've got everything from art deco to vintage to semi-precious stones and wood.


Bracelet Bounty!
If bracelets are your favorite, we have wide bangles in gold tones with set stones, sterling silver, turquoise, bone, rhine

DAVID YURMAN
David Yurman  "Cable Classics"


David Yurman launched his iconic brand in 1980, and with the debut in 1983 of his cable bracelet, the signature "Cable Classics Collection" was born. 


The twisted helix of Sterling and 14k Gold, with gemstone adornments has since become a welcome addition to many jewelry collections.

We recently received an assortment of these wonderful pieces that are now available for purchased as sets or separately. Stop in soon before they're gone! 

AMERICAN HUMANE ASSOCIATION EVENT

  
 
The Annual Palm Beach American Humane Association event is coming up on March 25, at 11:30 AM at Mar-a-Lago!
With Paris Hilton being presented with the National Humanitarian Award and singer Clint Holmes entertaining the crowd, a full house is expected! 
The proceeds from this event aid the AHA in animal rescues, developing research of the animal and humane bond, humane treatment of animals, education and caring for the animals that make such a wonderful difference in our lives.

 

 

Classic Collections, long a supporter of the American Humane Association, has invited friend and client Paula Reed, owner of Royal Jewelers of Boston to participate with their amazing selection of current fine jewelry. Represented will be a wide group of designers with marvelous merchandise in every price range for the attendees to peruse.  Their generous contribution of sales to the organization will be much appreciated.
