Style yourself with colorful bonnets, luxurious fur, a designer hat or chic jewelry to complement that perfect vintage cocktail dress with never-ending ruffles and sequins. You might even find the much coveted, signature Hermes scarf for a fraction of the original price. The designer wear at this shop includes high-end brands such as Prada, Chloe, Louis Vuitton, Oleg Cassini, Dior, Chanel, Ceil Chapman and Yves Saint Laurent. Though the designer wear is reduced in price, it is almost brand new and still costs a bomb. One can also browse through this boutique to find inspiration for a fashion show or rent costumes for a film or play.
