FALLING INTO FALL!!

Sally is Ready for Fall! 
"Falling into Fall" is kind of like falling in love!  There is that snap and rush to your senses and, just like that, you are smitten.  Indeed, how can one not love the thought of cooler, crisp weather, the gleaming red of crunchy apples, the bright orange of pumpkins, the blanket you finally get a chance to snuggle under, and the wonderfully rich colors of the fashions of Fall?

We have an abundance of stunning autumnal designer pieces for our shoppers!  Peruse everything from lightweight jackets and coats, cashmere wraps and sweaters, luxurious suits, beautiful designer scarves, suede and exotic skin purses, belts and shoes.


Luscious LV Python!

Glorious Gucci Scarf
 
Chanel Satin Pumps!

The best part about these new items is the array of marvelous colors and fabrics!  Rich caramel brown, taupe suede, soft charcoal grey, shades of cinnamon and gold, bright berry red, deep burgundy, and animal printed everything.

Hermès Heritage

OMG! de la Renta!

There are amethyst and jewel-toned taffeta evening beauties, luscious heather tweeds, sumptuous sweaters, leather slacks, delectable dresses and elegant evening designs.  

It is just terrific to experience the change of seasons (even in Florida) and the way that Fall fashions can exuberantly welcome you with a "new" look!  So, come on in and take a peek at our kind of Fall!

INVESTMENT DRESSING!

 Chanel Fitted Jacket!

During the last year of wild and crazy swings in the fashion world, it is fair to say that the old adage of investing for the long run still holds true.  This lesson can absolutely be applied to fashion and is becoming more prevalent as women and men of style and substance return to the "classics" to see their wardrobes through this unpredictable fashion period.
 
While buying classic pieces have always been the gold standard around which fashion icons would create their "look" with marvelous accessories and trendy "this season" items, it has become the wise and prudent way to shop now.  To pair some of the "Trendy" clothing with the classics is the new, smart way of thinking and dressing for both men and women!
 
Ferragamo Silk Scarf!

Rapturous Rosenstein!

Gorgeous Gonzalez!
Getting value for your dollar is still of prime importance and what better than a few important pieces around which you can build your "investment" closet.  Who could argue with the sense of owning a timeless Chanel jacket, an impeccably made Nancy Gonzalez or Hermès handbag, a classic pair of Louboutin or Jimmy Choo pumps, a fabulous Ferragamo scarf, or a stunning Akris suit?  Of course, coveted, high-quality costume jewelry is a must!  A cozy and collectible vintage Gucci cardigan, a timeless classic Armani tuxedo, a pair of David Webb gold cufflinks, an Hermès tie and pocket square can certainly carry a gentleman anywhere in the world...packed naturally in a timeless Louis Vuitton travel bag!

Vintage Gucci Heavy Wool/Mohair Cardigan

David Webb Enamel and Gold Cufflinks

Hermès Moon and Stars Tie 

These investment pieces are the fashion linchpins for the smart and best dressed women and men.  Consignment shopping allows one to purchase these marvelous, chic and expensive items at a fraction of their original cost-and it is this concept that is the real purpose of investment dressing-to be able to blend accessible, incredible value with timeless quality and style. 


NOW ACCEPTING FALL CONSIGNMENTS!

Admit it.  It's a safe bet that you, along with every other woman or man you know, has items in their closets that no longer fit, that were never worn, that were well-meant but unloved gifts, that were "what was I thinking?" purchases or just haven't meshed with the rest of your wardrobe.
 
Classic Collections and Classic Collections Gentry are currently ACCEPTING FALL SEASONAL MERCHANDISE.  We particularly welcome your high-end designer and luxury clothing (dresses and jackets), handbags, scarves, accessories or jewelry!  For our men's store, Gentry, we look for Hermès ties, beautiful evening wear, new shoes, handsome top- brand name sports jackets, and cashmere sweaters. We prefer new, unused or gently worn merchandise that is clean, in perfect condition and is currently in style.  

At this time, we are NOT accepting boots, winter suits, slacks, gowns or furs or winter coats.  Please hold off on these items until November and December. 

FROM OUR FAMILY TO YOURS!!

We are grateful that all of you came through Irma without much damage.  After 10 years, we so love our friends, consignors and customers and deeply value the wonderful relationships we have developed over time. 

Here is the lineup of our great staff and we urge you to visit or call if any of us can help you!  For special attention or service after-hours, we are happy to supply our cell phone numbers.  Just ask!
