i left the sale around 1:30 and there were tons of vibrato evelynes. saw a beautiful bolide- noire and a deep blue vibrato. there were wool garden parties in black and other colors. not as much china as the last sale.
the biggest difference that i saw this sale compared to last was that there were all there really beautiful bags deeply discounted. the bolide i saw was originally 6,000 reduced to in the 3's. the other big difference was that there was no line and no wait.
check out was fine- no problems like last time.
also leather plumes and leather and toile plumes. amazing.

Oh, poo! Thanks for letting me know, Olive! I sooo want something pretty in vibrato.
Sorry for the lack of updating--my stupid iphone killed my site. I left around 3:30--and the vibratos were pretty much on line waiting to be paid for.
This yr the bag selection and belt selection were great. they have the kelly 2x lock belt for 432! gloves galore for 250ish. Amazing pricing.

one was cyclamen vibrato for about 6k and a 32cm (?) in Epsom gold I think, but couldnt see the price
It was GOOOOOOD. Tons of fun. I'm tempted to go again. There was no line and it was very pleasant inside. No shawls, great rtw, but still priced at the same discount as in the boutiques. The best were the bags as mentioned in earlier posts. I also want to add that the QUALITY of the items at the private sale today were FAR SUPERIOR than in prior years. All the small leather items were in very nice condition, with a variety of sought after colors like violet, cyclamen, blue jean, and rouge H leather goods. This was a HUGE improvement from previous years' sad excuse for leather accessories. Perhaps someday they will throw us a bone and have some enamels?

Tons of belts. Even in normal sizes. Mens and Womens. Very unusual.
Tons of leather bracelets, especially the larger styles in black and natural Chamonix with one HUGE buckle.
RTW was still very expensive in my opinion and some of it seems to be from years and years ago. Mark that stuff down already and get rid of it!
