Luscious Leopard Print

With a wide collar and three oversized buttons, this faux fur leopard coat has an early 60's vibe. It was purchased on ebay a couple of years ago, and though I adore the gorgeous print, it's just too much coat for me. This garment has no labels anywhere, so I have no idea of exact size, fabric content, or age. The fabric and brown satin lining are in excellent condition.  This fits through the shoulders like a US 8-10, through the slight swing styling makes it plenty roomy through the body.

If you need any specific measurements or dimensions let me know, but this is not a fitted coat so probably would work for a range of sizes.

Asking $100 USD plus shipping.  Paypal only please, and all sales are final.

The Family Jewels - Seriously Statement Necklace

This is an authentic Zuni silver and tuquoise squash blossom necklace that my mother purchased in the 1970's.  It's a stunning piece, but just not my taste.

I've had it evaluated and appraised by two different experts, and they set the vintage at somewhere between 1930 and 1950. Native American jewelry is back in vogue, and I thought I'd give someone the opportunity to own and wear this gorgeous necklace. The turquoise beads vary in color from green to blue, and as you can see, the silver and findings are in very good condition.  Length is adjustable, fastened with a hook in the back.

The appraisers set a sale value on this necklace between $600 - $1000 (which unfortunately is far less than what my mother paid for it almost 40 years ago). It's a truly unique piece, a bit of wearable art and of exponentially better quality than anything made today.

Asking $600, plus shipping (insured). All sales are final, thanks.  If you are interested in this or any other item listed, please email me at unefemmecertainage (at) gmail (dot) com.

Gerard Darel - Pretty In Pink - SOLD

The only way I can describe this color is "blush pink." I've listed this bag for sale in the past, then pulled it back, as it was purchased on our very first trip to Paris in 2007.  But I haven't used it in a while, and it's time to let someone else enjoy its beauty.

This is the "24 Heures" size, approx. 16" W x 10" H x 4" D, but measurements are relative as it's a slouchy bag that can hold a lot. The leather is soft and lightweight, and inside there's a single zippered pocket. Some wear is visible, there are some scuffs/marks on the bottom of the bag, and some marks on the lining. But otherwise it's in very good condition and ready to strut its stuff!

This picture above is best representation of color, and included to show level of wear on bottom of bag.

Asking $150, plus shipping. All sales are final, thanks.

Balenciaga - Best of Boho Chic - SOLD

This is a 2006 Balenciaga "Day" bag (large, slouchy hobo) in the color Origan. This color is a soft, light olive that can function almost as a neutral. The leather is soft and distressed, and these bags are known for their light weight and "motorcycle" styling. Some of the tassels are split; this is normal for Balenciaga bags. I purchased this bag used a couple of years ago from an online consignment outlet. It *is* a genuine Balenciaga bag. The bag shows minimal wear that I can determine aside from the normal distressing,  and it comes with dustbag, mirror and some extra tassels.

Zippered main compartment has black cotton lining, and there is a zippered interior pocket as well as the exterior one you see (which is great for keys, cell phone).

The color is hard to get right in photos, but looks great with black, brown, navy, gray and also with brighter colors.  Did I mention how light these bags are??

Asking $500, plus shipping.  At this price, this bag will not last long. All sales are final, thanks.

Belen Echandia's superior quality leather, materials and workmanship + the chic, understated design and detailing = a bag that will provide years of stylish wear.

Missoni for Target Cardigan - SOLD

Remember the craziness that was "Missoni for Target?" In many areas, items sold out in stores within hours, and the online site was mostly crashed for a couple of days. By the time I was able to get online midway through the first day, the coffee cups I *really* wanted were sold out, but I thought this cute sweater might be worth a try. The fabric is very lightweight, in a subtler pattern than some of the other Missoni for Target offerings. There is gold threading throughout which gives just a bit of soft sparkle. It's a nice looking piece, and would add a bit of fun to a workday ensemble.

This sweater is a size Medium, which I'd guess translates to a 10-12 in US sizing. It turned out to be just a little bit too big for me, and it was only worn once.

Asking $35 plus shipping.  All sales are final, thanks!

Belen Echandia - SOLD

This is a custom, one-of-a-kind Belen Echandia bag. A few years ago when I was anticipating more work-related travel and offsite meetings, I special ordered this bag as a more stylish briefcase alternative. At 16.5"W x 10" H x 6" deep, this bag will accommodate a small laptop, and even includes a laptop sleeve which matches the lining. The pebbled leather is a gorgeous, glowing cream color, shown to better advantage in the picture below:

 There are two main zippered compartments, two exterior compartments (one a zip pocket, and one snapped) and inside, along with a bright and happy pink lining, are enough pockets for all of the organization you need.

The hardware has an elegant brushed brass finish.  There are two top handles which are long enough to wear over the shoulder and a detachable strap, the length of which can be adjusted to wear cross-body if desired. This bag was used only once, and is in pristine condition. I've had a few Belen Echandia bags, and the quality of the leather and the workmanship are among the best of any bags I've seen and examined.

This beauty really deserves to be loved and SEEN, and I'm hoping it will find a good home soon, so am pricing at a fraction of what I paid for the bag new. This will be a beautiful work or travel carry-on bag for Spring and Summer.

Asking $250 $150 plus shipping. All sales are final, thanks!

Yes, it's a Chanel!

This small Chanel tote in beige caviar leather is lightweight and perfect for Spring and Summer. It was purchased as a used bag from Fashionphile a couple of years ago and has been sitting lonely in its dustbag since. The caviar leather has been nicely softened with age, and the gold double-C logo fastener on the outside pouch discreetly proclaims its pedigree. In addition to the outside pocket, there are two large zipped pockets inside. This bag has authenticity cards and was certified as authentic by Fashionphile.

This is a used bag, and some slight wear on the corners is visible. The interior is clean, and I can see only two very small marks which are hardly noticeable.
