Just In!

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010


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!

Bag, $38, Hat $75, pipes priced individually.

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!

1930's Hooded Gown
A gown. With a hood. Anyone who puts this on is instantly transformed into an art nouveau Joan of Arc.
