Vintage 1910s Edwardian Couture Embroidered Beaded Sheer Net Art-Nouveau Vest

About the Item

This sensational 1910's French Edwardian bolero vest is lavishly embellished with glossy glass beads and sparkling jewels throughout. The highly stylized floral embroidery perfectly captures the Art Nouveau aesthetic. Double layered "light as a feather" black net tulle is the base for this breathtaking treasure; a regal patina which will add pizzazz to any modern ensemble. It is cut shorter, allowing endless possibilities of how one would style this garment. This is an extraordinary example of Edwardian bohemian refinement and a special find for the serious collector. Measurements Bust: 32 inches Total Length: 14 inches This 1910's Edwardian antique bolero vest is in excellent wearable condition with no stains, discoloration or missing beadwork. Only sign of age is a few breaks in the netting which are not noticeable when worn. Overall construction is true couture level as one would expect from such a lavish piece.

    Located in Beverly Hills, CA
    This ultra-chic early 1970's Harella of England maxi coat will make any woman shine during cold months ahead. The fabric itself is gorgeous; vibrant teal blue-green midweight cotton-velvet. I love the matching brass buttons and long, lean cuffed sleeves. Shaped with a-line seams that flare out in a slight swing-skirt, the figure flattering cut adds fullness to the skirt without adding bulk in the hips. Complete with a back mock-belt and hidden pockets. The mark of a truly fashionable garment is that it remains current event 50 years later, as does this statement coat...

  • Vintage 1989 Yves Saint Laurent Leopard Print Cotton Twill Trench Jacket w/Tags
    By Yves Saint Laurent
    Located in Beverly Hills, CA
    Chic Yves Saint Laurent leopard print cotton-twill trench jacket from the infamous Rive Gauche collection during spring-summer of 1989. Pieces from this collection are very rare and are true examples of fashion history. I adore the cuffed-sleeves and front duel pockets. The jacket features hidden buttons and a sexy back-slit. It is wearable and comfortable, yet has its own iconic elements. The best part of all is, the trench is in mint never worn condition! "In the mid-1970s the relevance of haute couture was seriously debated. The political and social upheaval of the 1960s, the emergence of a plethora of creative ready-to-wear designers, and the increasing preference for a sportswear approach to dressing as represented by American fashion were among the shifts in lifestyles and taste that appeared to sound the death knell of the calcified and elitist world of the maisons de couture. It was at this time that Yves Saint Laurent, haute couture’s preeminent practitioner, threw caution to the prevailing winds with a collection of unrivaled fantasy and luxury."
