EMANUEL UNGARO SILK BEADED SIZE 10-12 BLOUSE ~ ORIGINALLY RETAILED FOR $598!
Absolutely
BEAUTIFUL! That's what everyone's going to be saying about YOU when wearing this
elegant EMANUEL UNGARO designer Fashion…
Made from 51% Silk and 49% Rayon in dark
gray material (which feels like crepe), this sleeveless blouse is covered in rows
of hand-beaded bugle beads, and is fully lined. It features a zipper down one side
for ease of dressing. The size is given as 12/46, but think it runs a little small,
so would also be ideal for size 10. {Looks great on our size 6 model too!}
It
still has the hang-tags applied. The first one reads "Emanuel Ungaro" on
the front and style, color, size, UPC code, and lists the Suggested Retail price
as $598.00!
The second hang-tag reads "This garment is made of a silk blend
which has a special washed and suede finish to give it a soft and powdery appearance.
The variations' in color shading and slight creases are characteristic of this technique,
this special finish enhances its beauty and is not to be considered a defect."
CONDITION:
This
gorgeous blouse has never been worn (except by our model for the photos). There are
no stains, rips, or tears. As mentioned, the original hang-tags are still applied.
It comes from a smoke-free environment.

VINTAGE HEAVILY BEADED LACE DRESS WITH PEARLS, SEQUINS, & RHINESTONES.
Made
from 70% Rayon and 30% Cotton "Mixed Lace" this vintage 1960's MOD Dress
is exquisite! This was sold in Mays Department Store in NYC as part of their special
couture collection in the 1960s.
This FABULOUS dress is covered in hand-sewn beads,
pearls, sequins, and even an aurora borealis rhinestone in the center of the teardrop
decoration on the bodice, making it quite dazzling-and quite heavy! The lace is a
pale green color on a net ground, lined with Rayon of the same color. The floral
motif on the main portion of the dress features pale apple-green colored beads lined
with silver, giving them a two-toned appearance. There are sequins under each pearl
in the center of the flower. The green beads around the neck and each wrist-cuff
are darker emerald green with no silver, but some of the apple-green beads are mixed
in with the emerald.
So much attention has been paid to detail on this dress!
There
is a label applied to the inside, which reads "Made Exclusively for J.W. Mays
Inc. in the British Crown Colony of Hong Kong".
The size label says it is
a 10, but it fits closer to a modern US size 6 (which is the size of our model in
the photos). It closes with one long zipper down the back and two hook & eyes
at the neck.
We repeat, this entire dress is covered with thousands of hand-sewn
beadworks ~ must have taken the design team until now to finish!
CONDITION:
This
stunning dress is in very fine condition. We cannot find any loose or missing beads
or pearls. However, there are small flaws-there is a repair to the inside lining
of approx. 1 ½". It appears as if a heel went through the material-which is why
your mother always tells you to put your shoes on after you get dressed! There is
also one small "tea-colored" stain on the front of the dress. It is hardly
noticeable, especially with all the beads, sequins, pearls, and Rhinestone shining
so brightly, but we mention it for full disclosure.
The dress comes from a smoke-free
environment and has not been stored in a cellar or with mothballs. Can't you see
yourself as an eye-catcher and certainly the center of attention this Holiday season
wearing this beauty?

African Folk-Art Child's Purse, 1940s.
We've had this colorful hand
made purse over 20 years. It was acquired from the original owner who's father
(a correspondent in post-WWII Kenya) brought back from Africa. The little bag
itself is made of natural & dyed leathers, embroidered, and embellished with
"exotic" fur. There are evident signs of aging on a few parts of the treated
leather, i.e. 1 ½" rub on the top flap & rubs here & there along the
"accordion" construction sides of bag, and some stitches coming loose inside.
We have used this purse for display purposes as it is a beautiful and unusual work
of art. Measurements of the closed bag are 6" long x 7" wide, the leather
strap hangs down about 15" from the shoulder. In simpler terms, the bag measures
approx. 20" from the top of the strap down. Inside the purse, there are 5 separate
compartments with 2 additional flaps. One flap of dyed red leather, the other flap
with colorful red, green, gold, & white embroidery on black leather. It's hard
to describe, so please see the photo for details.
