Tom Ford’s tenure at Gucci was a key moment in fashion history. In 1992 the Texan designer was appointed design director, and in 1994, creative director. His aesthetic of pared-down minimalism and understated yet flirty luxury became iconic. From the house of Gucci's Fall 1994 collection, this rare retro-inspired backpack with its bamboo handle embodies Ford's design language. I am delighted to have found documentation of a black smooth leather sister version walking the runway, Gucci's advertising campaign of that year (see the pictures after the label shot) and a Vanity Fair article by Judy Bachrach from July 1995 saying "Its relatively new backpack...

HERMÈS weekender "HAC - HAUT A COURROIES 55", coll. 1978 ('H' in a circle. Historical collector's item and rarity! The weekender comes from a special vintage! Robert Dumas-Hermès (1898-1978) handed over the management of Hermès to his son Jean-Louis Dumas in 1978. This model consists of a toile canvas body and BARENIA natural leather. Another special feature is the interior design. This bag is one of the last models with an embossed HEREMS logo inner lining!! The bag was in the HERMES shop in Paris for the leather and toile canvas to be cleaned on the outside body. Inner lining very clean and original from the period. Dimensions: Height 48cm/19", Width 52cm/20.5", Bottom of HAC 55...

"As air travel became more popular from the 1930s, luggage allowed into aeroplane cabins had to be light and small enough to fit within the limited storage space. Cosmetics companies such as Elizabeth Arden began to produce compact vanity cases, (...) which became associated with the glamour of flying." – Courtesy of Victoria and Albert Museum, London This is a rare and impossibly chic original 1950s/1960s Elizabeth Arden top handle vanity case in excellent condition. Thanks to its unusual design for a beauty case, it can be used perfectly as an overnight case or handbag as well. Made from a glossy black crocodile pattern leather outside, the interior is lined in black edged ruby leather. The design features a structured silhouette with two top handles, protective metal feet and a perfectly working gold metal flip-lock closure. A detachable key hood in matching leather houses the original key. There are two main compartments, one for your beauty products – where the lining is covered with wipeable clear plastic – with a series of adjustable leather loops where you can secure bottles and containers. The other one has two gusseted slip pockets, one of them carrying a black leather stand-up mirror. Love the ruby moiré lining of the mirror's reverse! The compartments are divided by a zipped pocket to separate smaller essentials. Stamped inside "Elizabeth Arden". Comes with a white dust bag. A usable and collectable piece of beauty and fashion history that would be a wonderful addition to any museum! The case comes direct from a fashionable German client and has not been on the market prior to this. Excellent vintage condition. Interior clean and fresh, no stains or smell. Minimal wear to the closure (see pictures 7 & 8). Appears to have been used very little.
