LOVE US SOME LEONARD

Okay, we know you are looking at the blog right now and think this is the most atrocious dress you have ever seen...OR...you are on to how totally cool this bold, bat winged silk jersey dress is in a green background classic Leonard print. If you hate this, we totally respect you. We understand that this is NOT a dress for everyone. However, think of this dress in the fall with tights and a slouch boot and surrender to "The Eyes of Laura Mars" sleeves and dramatic gathers of the back. Revisit the dress in the spring with tawny legs and a strapp-y metallic heel and ethnic jewelry. Trust us, it's a really really good dress...and it's DEADSTOCK! The original hang tag is still on it.


Leonard deadstock green floral stained glass effect batwing dress c early 80s. Flexible sizing SOLD

Make Chanel Your Weapon of Choice

Just like the Birkin, the Louboutin, and the Little Black Dress, a quilted Chanel purse is mandatory ammunition in a well-coifed woman's fashion arsenal. And, like that other great "It" bag (the Birkin), the ruthlessly efficient method by which women acquire multitudes of quilted Chanel purses borders on compulsive. Therefore, don't expect this latest arrival to last long... As you can see, the bag is not in perfect condition, but the cherry red calfskin still looks magnificent and the gold hardware exceeds the quality of anything used in today's bags. Measures 13" by 8" by 4".



Chanel Cherry Red Quilted Calfskin Bag with Oversized CC Hardware and Biker Chain Handle, c. 1980s. SOLD

Are You a Birkin or a Kelly Girl? (Or Boy)

Here are two authentic Hermès bags that will sell in a jiffy. The question is: are you a Birkin or Kelly girl (or boy)? Personally, you can't go wrong with either. The Kelly is gaining steam again, so if you haven't selected a Kelly to add to your collection just yet, this one is a yummy cotton candy-colored leather in the new and supple Swift leather. The 35 cm grey Clemence Birkin with palladium hardware is a no-brainer. Matches everything. Okay, so we are not waxing profusely about either bag and we haven't posted a zillion photos, because these bags will sell fast and we have so many other listings to post today, so call or email ASAP to add these classics to your wardrobe.



Hermes Birkin 35 cm Grey Clemence 2002 (pre-owned, excellent condition, no box) SOLD

Hermes Kelly 32 cm in Rose Dragee Swift Leather 2007 (unused in box)SOLD

HERVALICIOUS!

As an act of penance for our truancy at the blog, Decades is bringing you more Herve Leger than you can shake a stick at! The latest additions to our collection run the gamut from classic bandage dresses to remarkable, one-of-a-kind creations. With close to a dozen new arrivals, check back each day this week for more Herve madness.

The body-hugging vertical panels in crème viscose make it hard to go wrong with our first selection. It's a great dress for a beginner or a seasoned connoisseur! Our second listing is perhaps our most remarkable Herve discovery to date, though. It's marked Herve Leger Couture and features viscose bandages piped with a luminescent cyan stripe across the front of the dress--truly spectacular! Finally, vamp it up with the open back black viscose cocktail dress in gold trim; we promise, it's not see-though as the photos suggest.

Herve Leger Crème Strapless Viscose Panel Dress, c. early 1990s. Marked size medium, fits a contemporary size 4.

Herve Leger Couture Rare Viscose Bandage Dress in Crème and Café au Lait with Electric Cyan Curved Decorative Piping, c. early 1990s. Marked size small, fits a contemporary size 4. SOLD

Herve Leger Black Viscose Cocktail Dress with Plunging Back and Gold Piping, c. early 1990s. Marked a size medium, fits a contemporary size 4. SOLD

Your Disco Needs You

Hard-partying ladies of the night, unite! Decades has landed two fantastic disco dresses to keep you looking chic from the limo to the velvet rope to the VIP lounge. A cropped shirt-dress by the quintessential Studio 54 designer, Halston, will wow the crowd with spectacular amethyst sequins; not to be outdone, Yves Saint Laurent demonstrates that he was stirring up some trouble of his own with a boat-necked mini in sequins and bugle beads from the same period. It's the sporty sort of look that YSL creative director Stefano Pilati referenced heavily for his Spring/Summer 2008 collection, but we think you should have the real thing.


Halston Amethyst Sequined Plunging Shirt-Dress with Waist Tie, c. 1970s. Fits a contemporary size 4. SOLD

Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche Mercury Sequined and Beaded Shirt-Dress, c. 1970s. Marked size small, its a contemporary size 4 SOLD
