We love this ethereal vintage dress in beautiful cerulean blue. The angel caped sleeves can be worn where they fall at the front but can also be placed over the shoulder for a more dramatic look. Made in a simple shape from a light polyester fabric with a little stretch. Fastens behind the neck with ties. You can also add a belt for more definition. In very good vintage condition with no stains or holes.

VINTAGE COMPACTS
This rare vintage compact from the 1950s is super fun and unique! Made by the sought after Pygmalion for the BOAC (British Overseas Airways Corporation) this square brass compact has six colourful travel decals for Europe, North America, Asia, Africa, Caribbean and Australasia, although some of these have rubbed away a little. Mirror and sifter inside and both Pygmalion and Made in Great Britain markings. Measures approx 3" x 3". Clearly well used but still a wonderful piece and particularly rare to have this design with the Pygmalion makers mark. Generally in good vintage condition.
We love this beautiful and quirky engine turned vanity piece from the ever collectable Kigu. This clever little case looks like a mini-handbag with a roped handle and has three components. The top is a lipstick holder, one side opens to reveal a mirror and powder compact and the other side opens to reveal a cigarette case. A wonderfully charming piece that would have been perfect for the socialites of the 1930s/1940s. Made from goldtone brass. Measures approx 3" x 3" x 1". It is well used and of course shows some aging but it still both functional and impressive. In good vintage condition.
We simply love this commemorative vintage powder compact from the Coronation of HM Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. Made by Gwenda, it is a classic pocket vanity piece that is suitable for use with loose face powder or as a handbag mirror. Any Royal Family themed vintage compact is highly collectible, especially when it has a name such a Gwenda attached to it. There is no powder inside but the original puff and sifter are still intact. Goldtone metal with a snap catch fastening. Measures approx 3" wide. Well used but still in very good vintage condition.
