An important and truly breathtaking one-of-a-kind metallic gold lamè trained couture dress custom-made for icon Yma Sumac. This ultra rare masterpiece dates back to the mid 1950's. Yma Sumac (1922–2008) was a noted Peruvian soprano and the original Queen of Exotica. Her international fame began in the early 1950's and she became the most famous proponent of exotica music. She is remembered best for her extraordinary vocal range, which was well over four and a half octaves. She was also quite the fashionista, and in 2010 'V' fashion magazine voted her one of the top 5 World Muses! 

Crafted from opulent metallic gold lamé, the dress features a seductive sculpted low-plunge bustier bodice with inner boning construction and a padded bust for a flawless, figure-enhancing fit. The garment's most striking feature is the unique, fluid train, which offers endless styling possibilities. Whether draped around the neck as a dramatic scarf or left flowing in a cascade of liquid gold to the floor, the train enhances it's unique 'Old Hollywood' allure. The front slit, combined with the gown’s sleek, hourglass fitted silhouette, offers a quintessential femme fatale vibe—effortlessly glamorous and impossible to ignore. As Damon, Yma Sumac's personal assistant, told me, "Yma loved elegance mixed with a touch of exotic. I was fascinated to see how much effort was put into each piece and what was added inside for the perfect physique". A piece like this is more than just a dress—it's a true work of art and a rare treasure that encapsulates Yma Sumac's extraordinary life both on and off the stage. This one-of-a-kind creation is a testament to her timeless elegance and the lasting impact she made on the worlds of both music and fashion. An iconic slice of 'Old Hollywood' glamour that would be an epic red carpet look.

Might seem pricey, totally worth it.
Size: One Size, Color: Classic Grey
Was a little more than I wanted to spend, but hey, it's cashmere. Super light but sturdy. Stiching seemed a little off and had a couple of funny points but I gave it a few wearings and they smoothed out just fine. I was looking for a tight fitting beanie for my bald head, hat size 7 1/4, with a bunch of loose fitting at the top like one of the seven dwarves and this one is form fitting. Perfect for my bald brothers and sisters out there. Compared to almost an exact beanie I have in Marino wool, this is lighter, softer,and warmer. Excellent buy.

The hungry mini schnauzer
Size: One Size, Color: Black
I bought this hat for my husband, twice. He loved the hat, and the dog did too. My dog Lola, ate the hat twice. With these cold, snowy New England days and nights, this hat was so warm, soft and felt great on his head, it was perfect until Lola decided if anyone would have it, it would be her! Is there any way you could possibly replace this hat??

Pure 100% Cashmere Beanie for Men - runs very small.
Size: One Size, Color: Black
A soft cashmere which is ribbed. However it is advertised as a Mens hat but size is very small for a man. Would be a better fit for a petite woman. Looks here like it has a turn up ribbing at bottom, but it does not.
