This style maven’s boutique packs such A-list names as Armani, Chanel, Prada, Pucci, Lacroix, Michael Kors, Jil Sander and Yves Saint Laurent. Prices are modest: a selection of women’s eveningwear starts at $200; a hand-embroidered pink 1948 vintage evening gown with crystals and pearls could recently be had for $500. Vintage ’60s picks include Jackie O–style bouclé coats with fur trim, and matching shift dresses ($120–$200) in vibrant hues of pink, green and blue. A winter-white 1970s wool suit by Andre Courrèges was $300. Accessories abound, including vintage alligator and crocodile bags in black, brown, white, green or orange. Evening shoes include Jimmy Choo, Gucci and Chanel (all $100–$200); hats range in style from the 1930s to current trends; long and short gloves in silver, white or gold are $20 to $40. New and vintage furs are another forte: a Birger Christensen fur swing coat made in Italy was marked at $5,000—down from $25,000—and there are plenty of shearling coats and boots priced from $50 to $250. For men, tuxedos begin at $199, with designer threads by the likes of Armani, Hugo Boss and Canali.
