JOHN ANTHONY ADDS DRAMA

This is the time of the year when we get desperate calls from clients asking for help is finding an appropriate cover up for a formal evening gown. Sure, you are only stepping out of the limo and walking 8 feet to the building where a door man will welcome you with a smile and a blast of hot air, but those 8 feet may feel like crossing the tundra when you are in a strappy gown with strappy shoes and the weather outside if frightful. Here comes the incomparable American designer John Anthony to the rescue with a black silk soft taffeta voluminous evening coat with an off-the-shoulder neckline (can be worn on the shoulders of course) and an easy length...it's lined in vanilla silk! It's warm enough for a brief sojourn in the cold and light enough that you won't feel like you are schlepping a blanket. Sure, it's great with evening gowns or cocktail dresses, but we also love it with a black cashmere turtleneck and some man-tailored trousers.

This style of coat is very useful, so act fast!

John Anthony late 70s black silk evening coat with vanilla lining Free Size SOLD

THE ROYAL "OUI"

We say oui, oui, oui to this deliciously hued Hermes royal blue Constance bag in Courchevel leather. The Birkins and Kellys all listed in today's postings come from the same meticulous collection of Hermes bags that were so gently used, it boggles the mind. The previous owner, who has a collection of well over one hundred Hermes bags, was so careful with the bags that she handled them with gloves. As she has such a large selection, they were used rarely on a rotating basis. The color of this bag is intoxicating and we hope you are drunk on it, too.

DOES A BLACK HERMES KELLY IN ALLIGATOR NEED A DESCRIPTION?

Hermes black 32 cm Alligator Mississippiensis Kelly, 1991. Extraordinary condition. SOLD

NOTE: Alligator and Croco are increasingly difficult to purchase at Hermes, so this one is extremely special. Hermes prices are going up in 2008, too. The exchange rate is dismal between the dollar and the euro...expect the prices of pre-owned bags to soar also in January 2008.
