Heirlooms: Schiaparelli Hats & Shirl Miller Leather Bags
14 July 2011
Summer is in full swing around here....apologies for the lack of posts but it's been a nonstop whirlwind of go, go, go with no signs of the pace slowing down. A visit to my sister's for a family reunion sent me home with this lovely vintage Schiaparelli straw hat with black patent leather trim that once belonged to my grandmother, as well as three hat boxes chock full of more treasures from her closet. (How she managed to hide them from me for the past 10 years is beyond me...) I remember my grandmother wearing it to horse shows and other outdoor events that required fashionable shelter from the sun. At the time, I had no idea it was a Schiaparelli providing such glamorous shade!
From another side of my (rather complicated) family I was overjoyed to receive this lovely Shirl Miller vintage clutch in embossed leather.
And of my own treasure hunting accord I came into possession of this rather fabulous vintage bar pump-decanter set that I am quite certain I will never be able to part with.
Hoping to be back soon...wishing you many lovely summer days and nights until then.
