One of my secret hobby's has always been to go on a "queeste" for that something special and especially the old stuff...
Everybody has a secret address that they only want to share with their closest of friends...
Well, mine is Ann-vers (pronounced as Anvers, French for Antwerp) - it's a vintage - second hand shop for luxury goods...
You always have to be very quick, cause what lies in her window display before 11 o'clock, can be sold at 11.10...
That's what happened to me last week...Went for my breakfast at Cook & Boon (post will follow later) and took a swift peak-a-boo before she opened...My eye fell on this gorgeous brown Chanel jacket, just my size and I was so over the moon that I saw this one first, I closed my shop at 11 for a quick delivery (that's what it said on my door - am I terrible, an addict ?...:-O
Ran to Ann-vers and OMG, this Vicky Pollard - look a-like woman, had set her claws on that jacket just 5 minutes before me...
As my friend H. would say ; and she wasn't even Chanel worthy ....(cry baby cry)
Now fortunately I have large feet (39 for 5'4") I also had my eyes on a pair of (almost) brand new Hermès loafers...black nubuck leather...it said 39,5 on the sole and they fit me !!
I'll leave you with a few pictures of the finds and bargons I found before at Ann-vers...
from feet to top :
Hermès loafers
Delvaux bag
Weill coat
and a vintage bracelet that used to belong to my grandmother
PS to celebrate the Hermès loafers, I've brought home some 'petit fours' from our bakery...and I think my children enjoyed them..:-)
