SUMMER 2012
      FLORIDA FAVORS FASHION!!!

While the past year our country saw bizarre climate displays, it's safe to say that generally and historically speaking, Florida

Jimmy Choo Stiletto's

is one of the few places that one can wear the same clothing all year round. That's terrific news for luxury fashion shoppers who consider price versus usefulness when deciding on high end designer purchases. Consider that fashion conscious women in Chicago, New York, Seattle, Boston and most other major northern cities are pretty restricted to the items that can be worn all year.

 

Nancy Gonzalez Croc Clutch

So, let's add this up: Chanel dress: $5,000; Jimmy Choo Sandals: $950; Nancy Gonzales Purse:$3,000;

Total: $8,950. Presumming that you can actually wear this divine outfit in Chicago for 3 months, that's about $99.50 per outing. In Palm Beach, let's assume that the same outfit can be worn 12 months...or $24.86 per outing. (We deducted 5 days per year for the rare cold Florida day).

Well, no rocket science needed here!

Charming Classic Chanel

 

Let's cut to the bottom line. Shopping for luxury fashions is expensive. Shopping for luxury fashions at a luxury designer consignment store is much less expensive. Shopping at Classic Collections is on the average 50-75% LESS expensive than retail. And, for those mathematically challenged fashionistas, that means this: The outfit described above, able to be worn 360 days per year, at Classic Collection prices, would be approximately $3,995 or $11.10 per DAY in our marvelous climate! Circuitous reasoning or not, that is a fabulous reason for those of us fortunate to be living in Florida to thank the weather Gods and go shopping!

CAVALLI'S STUNNING SUMMER DRESSES!!

 

Born in Florence, Italy in 1940, Roberto Cavalli is known for his exotic and signature animal prints and his love of knits, denim and leather. Trained in textile printing during the 1970's, he invented and patented a unique printing procedure on leather and was commissioned to design for Hermes and Pierre Cardin.

 

Today, Cavalli's main line as well as Just Cavalli is sold in over 50 countries worldwide and is comprised of men's and women's wear, accessories, eyewear, watches, perfumes and beachwear.

 

At Classic Collections we are pleased to offer a tremendous selection of Cavalli and Just Cavalli for your consideration. We have summer dresses galore as well as long gowns, shirts, skirts and slacks. The beauty of owning a Cavalli dress is that it can go straight from a suitcase out for the day or evening...and look fabulous! No wonder that the first boutique Mr. Cavalli opened was in Saint-Tropez!!!

SUMMER VACATION!!

 

Classic Collections is announcing our second annual Summer Vacation! It was such a good idea last year that we decided to do it again!

 

We will be closed for the month of July and re-open later in the summer. We will be rested and the shop will be professionally cleaned, painted and refreshed! And the stunning NEW couture merchandise that will be ready for you will be worth waiting for! Trust us on this!!!

 

For our consignors who have items with us, if you have not already made plans for pick-up, your merchandise will be held until we return in the fall with no penalty. Your contracts will be held in suspension until we open again and the clock will once again start on your contractual period. All merchandise will be held in the alarmed, air conditioned secure shop or in our air conditioned warehouse. Our emails and phone messages will be checked daily.

 

During this time-out, we will be accepting impeccable and current luxury designer clothing, handbags, shoes, jewelry and accessories for the fall season STRICTLY BY APPOINTMENT. If you intend to ship items to us, we ask that you speak with Sally Kimball or Wendy Heitzman BEFORE you ship anything...our space is limited and we want to make sure we can accommodate all shipments properly and that we can arrange for them to be received in person. Please call the shop at

561-833-3633 and speak clearly and leave a message and telephone number for a return call. As we will be traveling, our phones may not be working, so please, use the shop phone number so we can make sure we are in communication with each other.
