Thank you! And Sparklybags! xx Very kind.

I actually got the Dior suit from a US seller on ebay. Had to pay about $45 duty on it though :( Seems so wrong to me to have to pay duty on second hand items. Shows governments don't really give a fig about recycling.

You seem to have far more selection of quality second hand items on ebay in the US; especially from the 80s.
North Beach Leather (Hoban) and Lillie Rubin are among my faves but you even appear to have more European designer items - Mugler for instance - on ebay there than here. We have some good Vivienne Westwood vintage pieces crop up more often here though.

Here are two of my Lillie Rubin 80s vintage buys from ebay US:
