We got in so many amazing things today, including an assortment of great pipes, an interesting 1920′s handbag that opens in the front, and the be-all-end-all of hats: a chocolate brown 1920′s velvet cloche with jewel and feather detail, in nearly perfect condition, and will fit a modern head!

Curious Sofa
Our Halloween window is taking a page from “The Curious Sofa, a pornographic work by Ogdred Weary.” This slim little volume is actually the work of the great illustrator/writer, Edward Gory, and no one does creepy better than Gory. In the window we are showing a 1920′s pale green flapper gown, a turn of the century Tuxedo, a velvet sofa, and a diamond adorned arm reaching out from underneath. Happy Halloween everyone!

A gown. With a hood. Anyone who puts this on is instantly transformed into an art nouveau Joan of Arc.
