Chanel goodies from London

And so one of my shopper’s in London til end March, attending a short fashion course in Central St. Martins. I’m in serious envy of her life, if only I could take off like she did, to do a course in London at a whim.

Yvonne is one of my oldest and dearest friends, and she too is on the Birkin trail for me; meanwhile, I tasked her to fulfil some Chanel orders. These beauties belong to some happy ladies :D

And just look at this breathtaking beauty. It was a necklace from the previous Cruise collection, and Yvonne tracked down the one remaining piece in the Brompton boutique. It’s the heartstopping searches and the eventual success for the hard-to-get-pieces like these that make me and my shoppers glad to be in this business!

Jas caught the Pomellato bug

Or rather Pomellato caught up with her.

It was a matter of time really. Jas has been coveting some beautiful crystal drop earrings from Tiffany’s when she first laid eyes on it about 2.5 years ago, when we were traipsing along London’s Bond Street.

I remember thinking that this must be what angel’s teardrops look like, for they too, cost the earth! I mean, these are crystals, for heaven’s sake.

Anyhoo. I did remember thinking that there was another brand that specialises in coloured crystals and stones. It wasn’t Baccarat, as I so believed at that time, but the less obvious but no less reputable, Pomellato.

Feast your eyes on these beauties. Pure, unadorned crystalline beauty.

Which one did you think Jas got? Reveal in a coming post.

What’s recently caught my eyes are these Lucciole stackable rings, affordable (yay!), with prices starting at 295 euros. I imagine the graphite one with one diamond would work lovely as a wedding band.
