Enough talk. We can't wait to share our personal preloved wishlists with you. We’ve sourced the best vintage and pre-loved treasures so you don’t have to — bringing rare, one-of-a-kind pieces directly to your inbox. Starting with some bargains, these vintage Hermès t-shirts in turquoise (another one here) or gold brown — perfect for the pool or beachside, but versatile enough for any setting and an absolute steal. While it’s still sunny, imagine how well this silver Hermès bikini or Saks Potts one-piece would pair with this Alaïa sweatshirt dress or vintage Hermès striped shirt and Fidan Novruzova shorts. If you don’t snap them up, we certainly will.
Ball and chain (and more jewelry)
We’re pretty sure everyone’s familiar with “bauble” necklaces, though you might not have known the name. These bold, playful statement pieces, characterized by large, rounded beads (as seen on Stephanie in a previous newsletter), inspired us to curate this vintage selection. We saved this unique YSL black glass pearls necklace, Oscar De La Renta black and silver bead necklace, Gucci silver bead ball necklace and this more delicate Tiffany & Co silver beaded necklace (also available here).
Since our newsletter ‘The Summer Hotlist’, we’ve been in a serious ‘cuff’ tunnel vision. On our vintage cuff wishlist; The chunky or small spotted vintage Hermès cuff, Gucci sterling cuff, black resin cuff, Hermès vintage silver or resin Osmose bangle. Also, our silver obsession continues with this seventies Georg Jensen silver drop pendant necklace (this one is equally beautiful) and this fun silver spiral ring.
Perforated Perfection
With the addition of gloves to this overview, we’re gradually transitioning into fall. Our hearts skipped a beat when these effortlessly cool Alaïa perforated gloves appeared on our screens (also available here). A nod to Alaïa’s signature style, Pieter Mulier has given an exciting new twist to these perforated dots with the Neo Mina tote and perforated pleated ballerina - we’re still eagerly awaiting. This and this preloved leather eyelet belts (we just can’t resist) say it all.
Sticking with belts, this Ann Demeulemeester multi-corset belt, Ann Demeulemeester holster belt (which redefines high-waisted) and Peter Do belt have been twirling in our minds. And so too have the Lemaire Egg bag and Spring/Summer 2024 Maison Margiela straw bag (also available here).
With fall as our next focus, this Y/Project parka offers a fresh twist on the already iconic Prada canvas jacket and pairs perfectly with this vintage Hermès cashmere top and vintage Gianfranco Ferré beige midi skirt to complete the look.
These The Row Kitten Strap heels (size 40.5), The Row black heeled sandals (size 38) and Khaite Jones T-strap flat sandals in white (size 36) have been on our summer wishlist for quite some time and could be considered steals. We’re also smitten with these satin Ferragamo ballerinas (size 40). For those who simply can’t part with ballerinas this winter, these Alaïa flats (size 38.5) could be your perfect vintage pair.
We believe that vintage and one-of-a-kind finds are the secret to truly revitalizing a wardrobe. We hope this debut list has sparked your interest. We’re eager to hear your feedback and ideas—whether you have specific suggestions, favorite platforms, or any other requests. Your input is essential as we tailor this newsletter to your preferences. Don’t forget to check the group chat, where we’ll be dropping a few more exciting finds soon.
