"FASHION PASSES,
STYLE REMAINS" |
Who but the inimitable Coco Chanel (1883-1971) could utter
|
Chic In Chanel |
those
words with such great authority and conviction? Amazing that today, 40
years after her death, the fashion world still craves her extraordinary
style and taste and honors her legacy through the purchase of over
$2.5 Billion worth of Chanel products per year (2010 figures). Indeed,
with 310 Chanel stores all over the world, this privately held,
gigantically successful company is certainly something that Gabrielle
"Coco" would be exceedingly proud of today.
Copious amounts of classic and coveted Chanel's have recently arrived at the shop! We're talking about those
|
Sensational Silk Scarves |
instantly
recognizable, flirty little 'luncheon suits', jackets, dresses,
handbags, scarves and sweaters. Sporting the nearly perfect
marriage of tailoring and structured femininity and created with divine
fabrics and adorned with lots of double CC's either on buttons or
hardware or woven into the silk and wool patterns, these are truly
pieces that go beyond fashion and will

remain stylish for many years!
Oh,
and did we mention the shoes, boots and vintage jewelry? Honestly, if
there ever was a question of the stability of certain investments, say
stocks, real estate or Chanel jewelry, clothing and handbags, we know
where we would put

Amazing Chanel Boots |
our
money! But, we give you fair warning: this merchandise literally flies
out of Classic Collections and once it's gone, it's gone! It's
impossible to tell you how many times we have heard the saddest words a
retailer can hear... "What do you mean it's SOLD??? I wanted that"!
|
Jewels By Chanel |
It's
trite, but true: if you see something in a consignment shop and it fits
you perfectly, you love and can afford it...then for heaven's sake, BUY
IT! We can't 'order' you another one!!!

NOW ACCEPTING FINE JEWELRY FOR CONSIGNMENT! |
| Dazzling Diamonds |
After
months of working out details, Classic Collections is pleased to
announce that we are now accepting fine jewelry on consignment. If you
are like most of us, you have boxes of fine jewelry that you no longer
wear, don't want or your life-style has changed and pieces are no longer
practical.
Rather
than sell your earrings, rings, bracelets, necklaces and brooches for
"melt" value, why not recycle your once-precious pieces for
someone else's pleasure? By consigning jewelry, you have the ability to
get money for items that have value for their style, vintage and rarity
rather than just for the weight of the metal or size and quality of the
stones.
| Perfect With Pearls |
Working
with certified appraisers, we will be delighted to assess the market
value of your merchandise and offer it for sale in our shop at 118 N.
County Road as well as in our on-line boutique. Utilizing both sales
venues, you will have a greater success of selling your jewelry to the
thousands of clients who make up our customer base.
| Fine Gold and Diamonds |
Appointments
are necessary for fine jewelry evaluation and security measures are in
place so your merchandise is safe, protected and insured. Please call
for more details and set up your appointment now to make money out of
unworn treasures!
| Dare to Wear |
By
the way, our customers are calling daily asking about the new fine
jewelry line! Whether buying for themselves or for holiday gifts they
are-across the board-excited and anxious to peruse the great treasures
coming in!!

NEW COLLECTION
BY MARIA HAMILTON! |
| Maria Hamilton Collection |
We
are so lucky to have such a fabulous relationship with local designer,
Maria Hamilton. Born in Caracas, Maria has taken her talent to new
levels with her new collection that is currently debuting at Classic
Collections.
| Brillant Gemstones |
Using
very large and uniquely cut and shaped gems such as amatrine, green
amethyst, morganite, smoky quartz, rutilated quartz and unusual various
shades of topaz, citrine and amethyst, many of these designs are
embellished with Swarovski crystals or cubic zirconias and are set in
sterling silver or 14 k. gold. Most of these pieces are one-of-a-kind
and come from the fertile imagination of Maria, who just won the "best
new jewelry designer" award in the U. S.
| Sterling Silver Snake |
More pieces will be
available prior to the holidays, so come on in and stake your claim
EARLY. Maria will also size rings at no charge for our customers. |

Thank goodness for
November! What would we do without a month that actually helps us to
focus on being grateful for the many blessings that we have and remember
to do something constructive for those who may not be as fortunate as
we are.
So, as Classic
Collections completes its fourth year of business, it is with deep
recognition and GREAT appreciation that we acknowledge the many people
and things we are thankful for-wonderful old and new friends, loyal
consignors, enthusiastic and delightful customers, good neighbors, a
terrific computer/web technical support group and a dedicated,
hard-working, cheerful and pleasant staff (take a big bow Dove, Wendy,
Debbie and Bethany!)
We are so very
grateful for your business, encouragement, suggestions, support, fashion
sense and the fun we have through your shopping experiences. We deeply
appreciate and credit your support for our efforts to give back to the
community through the donations we make to so many needy organizations.
