I have just come across a vintage retailer called Atelier-Mayer that I thought I would share with you. Here is a little bit about them from their website:

"ATELIER-MAYER.COM is a website dedicated solely to the global phenomenon of 20th- century vintage. Inspired by the late Klaudia Mayer, an Austrian haute couture tailor whose atelier was originally founded in 1927, the company has updated Madame Mayer's heritage to the 21st century in the form of a luxury online boutique for vintage fashion lovers, collectors, students, designers and artists."

Here are some of my favourite pieces from the website (if money were no object!!!)


Jean Patou Cream Coat Style Dress £345



Hand Embroidered Bodice £51.75



Garolini Suede Heels £92



Black Lace Pillbox Hat £92



Valentino Gold Petal Earrings £80.50

For all of those who didn’t read this months Vogue magazine, there was a fantastic article listing the best US websites for designer clothing:

Le Train Bleu

“Shop here if: you like to stay ahead of the style curve. Le Train Bleu showcases designers who aren’t household names yet.”

La Garconne

“Shop here if: you eschew trends for your own fine-spun personal style.”

Bergdorf Goodman

“Shop here if: you like having a plethora of choices but the thought of getting on a plane or entering a department store makes you shudder.”

Revolve Clothing

“Shop here if: you prefer to make a statement with your accessories rather than your frocks.”

Shop Jake

“Shop here if: you would rather chance a return than enter a fitting room, and buying denim is your worst nightmare; the Denim Fit Guide gives a rundown on styles that work for your shape.”

Blaec

“Shop here if: you want the in-store experience without leaving the comfort of your cushy chesterfield. Laid out to look like a bricks-and-mortar store, this site boasts storefront windows on its opening page.”
