Agneta Eckeymer Collection
The moment has arrived that we received the very special romantic blouses from Swedish fashion designer and old friend, Agneta Eckeymer. If you read my blog back when I was on my New York buying trip in February, these are the fantastic vintage blouses I raved about that were coming in soon.. The ones we selected from her Central Park West penthouse apartment as we sippped champagne and strawberries over lighted candelebras and sleeping cats.
The ‘Beautiful Blouse’ in silk habutai is a favorite. It is etched in scrumptious vintage lace and is available in both black and white. The ‘Georgette Blouse’ has a slightly different feel with its soft romantic ruffles along the collar and sleeves. Both are slightly pinched at the waist which make them extremely flattering and gorgeous peaking out of a long cardigan. Hope to see you in soon before they are gone!
The first photograph features a georgette silk ruffle blouse available in sizes small,medium and large in white and black $268. The second photograph features a beautiful lace trimmed blouse available in sizes small,medium and large in white and black $268.
