Our favorite poem about Mothers was written by Ann Taylor in 1804...great then, better now!  

"Who ran to help me when I fell, 
And would some pretty store tell, 
Or kiss the place to make it well?
My Mother."

We have so many marvelous gifts that would be perfect for any Mother!  Let's take a look:  

Pearls



Pearls are something you simply cannot go wrong with!  Whether it's simple pearl earrings, massive baroque pearl necklaces or delicate black and white pearl bracelets with diamonds, we can accommodate almost any taste and budget!  We work with many estate jewelers, custom fine jewelers who only work with pearls and diamonds, as well as collecting one-of-a-kind pieces from our wonderful consignors. Consider this 4-strand pearl bracelet that is set in 14K white gold and has a diamond studded clasp.  Or perhaps these beautiful Freshwater pearls set with black and bronze Swarovski crystals that will dress Mom up for any event, celebration or special occasion?!

Business Women, Leaders, Mentors!
Our first Fashion Show for the non-profit, national small business mentoring group, SCORE, was a a terrific success!  Held at the new Convention Center Hilton in West Palm Beach, Classic Collections presented five looks for the "New" Business Woman. We featured Traditional Business Attire, the New Business Casual, the Traveling Woman, Business Cocktail Event and Formal Business Event.

For models, we worked with actual mentors and mentees of SCORE, so we had a variety of ages, body shapes, and different customs to consider with these gracious gals.  We had a great deal of fun matching clothing, handbags and fine jewelry for each category for each model!  

The event was so wonderful that we had been invited to present the Fashion Show next year for the Annual SCORE Luncheon. This is an event that we will be looking forward to with delight!

NEW WEBSITE 
MARKETPLACE ALLIANCES!

We are pleased to announce that beginning in May, we are forging alliances with some websites located in different countries worldwide in an effort to bring our consignors merchandise to a wider range of foreign buyers.  

We continue to have an exceptional presence on 1stdibs and will be advertising heavily with them over the summer months.  Our relationship with 1stdibs has only grown stronger and has been extremely mutually beneficial for all involved.  We look to them as our web leaders and have plans to create a wonderful advertising campaign with them during our "off season".  Truly this is great news for our loyal customers as you can shop Classic Collections fashion and fine jewelry on 1stdibs directly from your beach chair!



SUMMER HOURS!

Beginning July 1st, Classic Collections will be open all summer this year Monday through Saturday from 11am to 5:30pm.  We will be at the shop to take your calls, shipments of beautiful merchandise that you are sending to us, sending out consignment payments and, in general, carrying on as usual.  It's a great time for us to work with new consignors and determine which brands and trends we want to select for our clientele. 

 Remember, as you start to edit your closet:  

Clean out your closet and don't make a fuss
If it's not becoming to you...it should be coming to us!
