This is one of a dozen dresses from a single owner collection of beautiful 1930s dresses and I am very pleased to have this small capsule for you. Her collection was lovingly sourced over decades and she has decided that it is time let them back out into the world for others to enjoy. Outstanding designs from this era are increasingly hard to find. Her collection represents some of the best of the era that I have seen in a very long time. Most are in excellent condition and the few included in the capsule that do have some flaws are such outstanding designs that I feel there is still room for someone to love them and wear them as they are, or perhaps to put in the additional work to repair them. This is just a tiny sampling of her overall collection and I hope to have another series of these capsules in the future. Enjoy this first drop.

This beautiful dress is a joy to see. It is made entirely of a black silk velvet that is light and has incredible movement and softness. The style of the dress is incredibly simple but stunning once on. To wear it you simply slip into it and then hook it inside the waist and snap in into place on the outer waist. It overlaps enough that it feels secure to wear but it still gives you a mile of leg that shows when you walk or sit and a pretty plunge at the front. This one has its original belt that helps to hold it in place. The belt alone is incredible. It is made of a black silk velvet that has stiffened inserts around the back to hold the shape. The buckle is a bronze coloured metal and onto the buckle are red, blue and white beads with touches of gold paint for a splash of colour on the black. The sleeves are stunning. They're gathered all along their outer edges and inside they are lined in a pale blush silk satin. There's also a partial lining of the same silk satin around the collar and these give you just a glimpse of this added color when you move. The dress is completely bias cut and drapes over the bust, skims over your hips and falls to the floor in a beautiful expanse of silk velvet. The skirt is cut longer in the back than the front and there is slit that runs up one side. It is simply a beautiful dress. Excellent condition with a minor note below.

Unlined and cut on the bias. It's long to wear and hooks into place as described above. I see a repair with invisible tape near the edge of the slit and there are some small areas of thinning along the hem and teeny areas that you can only see when you hold it to the light. This is common with silk velvets of this age and the fabric is strong and sturdy. There is so much fabric in the dress that you would never notice these once on. It otherwise looks to have been worn very little. The waist could be adjusted by moving the snaps and hook.

Great little budget tote
Color: Black, Color: Black
I use this as my everyday bag (with an organizer inside) and it's the best little bag I've ever had. It's sturdy but soft, the strap is easily adjustable to a bunch of different lengths, and it's roomy enough in the inside for average everyday needs plus the occasional extras! The material is thick enough to be good quality, but not overly inflexibly thick. I also covered mine in pinback buttons and enamel pins, and the fabric is really good for pins - They go on firmly and don't slide around. I saw a lot of complaints about smell, but mine had no bad smell at all!

Decent bag
Color: Light Grey, Color: Light Grey
2.5 year update: I'm ready to replace my beloved grey bag, but most of the colors more than doubled in price!! I get that there's inflation, but that's insanity. It was $10.99 when I bought in 2019. Forget this brand. Dropped a star. ----------------------------------------- Original review: In the photo, that's a 32oz Nalgene bottle and a small, Periea Chelsy organizer (found on Amazon, 8.5 inches long). 9 months of near daily use so far, no issues! I even got oil and ink stains on it, and they came right out. Great runaround bag, not too big not too small. Love it. First things I did, removed the label and coated it in Kiwi Protect All spray. Pros: - 2 pockets inside are deep and sooo useful - very cute - comfortable and very light to carry - adjustable strap length, for shoulder or crossbody - price is right - machine washable Cons: - zipper is a bit "sticky" - words on the label are classic Chinese-English, reminds me of Taiwan. Lol - no inside lining - fabric could be thicker. It's thin for canvas. - metal hardware is not stainless steel Neutral: - medium size (model must be child size, pay attention to dimensions. I'd say it's similar to standard disposable grocery bag size, cept taller) - durability is questionable. It's not going to come apart if you look at it wrong, but I definitely wouldn't try using this as a bookbag either. For the price, it seems sturdy enough. When this bag dies, I will 100% be buying another one if it's still available. Love it.

Great value for amazing bag
Color: Pink
Great deal on this tote bag, the strap length is extremely adjustable for size and different wearability. It has good storage space and no pockets inside but works well. It looks great with different colors I have the pink and my boyfriend has the coffee one which looks amazing. I added pins to mine and looks great! Love this bag

I love my bag.
Color: Leopard White, Color: Leopard White
love the design, i barely put anything in it tho because it weighs the bag down even though it’s a nice size. out of the package looks like it hasn’t been sown properly thru, pieces of the fabric sticking out. (loose thread) you get what u pay for but still pretty. Update, Maybe i underestimated my baby love, she fighting the greatest fight! Still love my baby! I would buy another! i want the whole collectionnnnn!
