With are celebrating the first month of Summer with a new section entitled "Treasure of the Month".  This segment will be devoted to one very special item from our extensive collection each month.  Why not start with the grand dame of style, the inimitable and legendary Mademoiselle Chanel?  Way ahead of her time, Chanel launched her first fragrance, No. 5in 1921 on the 5th day of the 5th month.  The bottle that 
houses this world renowned perfume is as iconic Chanel herself!  

 

When this trademarked shape took the form of a convertible clutch on the runway for Chanel's Cruise Collection 2013/2014 it became the most desired accessory of the season!  

Everyone waited in line. 

 

EVERYONE!

Patricia Underwood

Avenue, you will be remembered!  As George Gershwin wrote in 1937, "The way you wear your hat, the way you sip your tea, the mem'ry of all that, No No! They can't take that away from me!"  We agree!

 

 

CAPTIVATING CUFFS! 

 

  

Go Ahead...Cuff Me!

 

No, no, these aren't "Book him, Danno" cuffs we're talking about!  These are the designer cuffs that make such a statement to any outfit!

 

The cuff bracelet is a style that generally is a rigid, open bracelet that fastens or slips over the wrist or arm.  Typically significant in width, this style can be found back in history thousands of years and throughout various cultures, from Africa, to Asia to Europe and finally to the Americas.

 

Mimi O'Connor, in an article for Zady.com titled
Cuff 101: History of an Iconic Accent writes "It's no accident that the cuff bracelet has adorned the wrists of
"Coo Coo" for Coco Cuffs!
some of the most compelling and beautiful women throughout history." She goes on to mention Wonder Woman, Athena, Greek goddess of wisdom and courage, Game of Thrones' Khaleesi, Diana Vreeland, Jackie O, Egyptian Queens Nefertiti and Cleopatra, and of course, the holy grail, Coco Chanel.  Mademoiselle Chanel designed her signature and instantly recognizable twin cuffs with Italian Jeweler Duke Fulco di Verdura in 1936.  The resulting Maltese Cross design cuffs are still available and coveted today! 

 

Captivating Kenneth J Lane!

We have an outrageous selection of wide and dramatic cuffs to perk up any summer outfit!  From the twin, matching gold and gris poix vintage cuffs from Chanel to the Kenneth J. Lane copies of the Verdura cuffs with black enamel and jewels to the sophisticated sterling sculptured cuff by Robert Lee Morris to the Swarovsky crystal beauties embellished cuffs by Judith Leiber, we have something for everyone's taste!

Just Lovely
Judith Leiber!

 

Cuffs come in all sizes and widths.  Wear one wide one, wear several smaller width cuffs together,  stack several different sizes on one or-dare we say it-both arms!  For instant recognition, charming divergence and dramatic entrances, we say cuff it up!

 

 

Hermes "Jungle Love"
by Robert Dallet


 
Nothing can perk up a summer outfit more than a simple scarf.  Whether you tie them around your neck, wear them on your hats, add a splash of color to a straw handbag's handles, make a sexy bandeau top, wear a large one as a pareo over a bathing suit or wrap one around your shoulders in an overly-air conditioned restaurant, you will ALWAYS look and feel better with this marvelous accessory.
