Vintage Rosemond: chic finds to die for!

Vintage, according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, means something “old, recognised, and enduring interest, importance or quality; classic and dating from the past”. These old pieces have once again become trendy. We are going back to the 60s, 70s and 80s. Think Coco Chanel or Audrey Hepburn – women with elegance, grace and spirit. Vintage Rosemond salutes such styles.

Based in Los Angeles and available online, Vintage Rosemond has a vast collection of finds from dresses and skirts, to bags and belts, to hats and jewellery. This is the ultimate website to put your ensemble together.

Look at this black Vintage 1980’s Early Betsey Johnson Halter dress, made out of 90% cotton and 10% lycra. What is most charming is the shape of the dress, the way it drapers; a real steal at £91.

 

Vintage Rosemond also does fashion shows, meets with stylists and buyers, and consigns pieces with selected stores. Having such a name, it is only natural that celebrities such as Lindsay Lohan would be spotted wearing their vintage pieces.

This Vintage 1970’s Carlos Falchi Burgundy and Crocodile Leather Handbag priced at £208 is very rare and unusually large. It features beautiful burgundy-coloured crocodile leather and woven straw details. It closes with two oval clasps and two leather strings; far more attractive than a hobo bag to go shopping with your girlfriends.

Chanel’s Vintage 1980s Classy Grey and Black Silk High Heels feature a tied black bow strap and three inch heels taking you back to the Ms Coco’s playful fashion. The Chanel logo is on the inside and the sole. Wouldn’t it be perfect to match this with the Betsy Johnson dress?

If you want a simple eye-catcher, try this Vintage 1990’s Roberto Cavalli Leather Belt for £77. This red and gold belt’s unique trait is the long gold tassels. Roberto Cavalli certainly made a one-of-a-kind here.

Maurice’s Beautiful Vintage Green and Flower Print Dress can be buttoned up from the waist up. The fabric has been individually printed by the silk screen process. How divine for a tea party!

Vintage Rosemond lives by the words of the great Yves Saint Laurent: “Fashions fade; style is eternal.” Get a glimpse of their shop online.
