Luxury Vintage Fashion - Atelier Mayer

If you thought Atelier Mayer only stocked 'I'm sorry, could you repeat the price again' vintage fashion, you may be surprised to see that most of the following pieces are under £100. Remember, as my fashion-frenzied Aunt Winnie always used to say, 'even the shops that are snooty will always have some bargain booty! It's true, I didn't have to look for long on Atelier Mayer (I just clicked the under £100 sign) and lo and behold there were quite a few affordable vintage treasures that caught my eye! By the way, I don't really have an Aunt Winnie but that bit of sage advice sounds better coming from an eccentric aunt, doesn't it? One last thing, don't be frightened by the price of the last dress. It's just that I exercised such commendable retail restraint on a site filled with luscious £1,000 gowns that I had to squeeze in one truly decadent piece!

Hand Embroidered Bodice £50 (opening image)
I know, you're probably thinking, 'where will I wear a black and gold beaded bustier?' Well, even if you're not brave enough to wear this to the boadroom and are not appearing in Beyonce's next music video anytime soon, you could still make this beautiful bodice work for you. Sewing savvy ladies could transform this into a dress. The potential is there, it's just waiting for your creativity and vision!



Gold and Ruby Heart Ring £34.50
Statement rings will always be popular and this heart shaped ring is no exception. With 'frosted black, ruby and white diamante detailing' and a fairly decent price tag, this is a great young, fun and fancy purchase.



Hot Tangerine Frou Frou Shift Dress £138
I know, it's expensive, orange and there's a bow and fringed skirt but I totally love it! The dress is from the '60s but I'm sensing a little '20s, flapper influence in the style, which is always a popular look.




Gold Embroidered Evening Purse £40.25
This eye-catching purse has a fantastic, futuristic look. You can't go wrong with a chic, petite 'wow' purse.




Gold Aztec Necklace £92
Oh my! I wish I could be more articulate about this divine necklace but its beauty speaks for itself. Because the price is under £100, I could definitely consider buying a stunning jewellery piece such as this. You would have this heirloom piece forever.




Burnt Orange A-Line Swing Jacket £84
Here is the perfect little jacket for Spring and Autumn. The cheery colour is super flattering and a nice change from the numerous black jackets already out there. By they way, this is Hermes!





Geometric Embroidered Bag £55
Hello, 1960s and all of your geometric patterned loveliness! This bag has Brady Bunch written all over it (in a good way). This is too cute and will look great today, tomorrow and for years to come.


Bob Mackie Striped Siren Gown - £1,800 (I know, but it was so pretty I had to show it here).
Just in case you happen to be attending a red carpet premiere soon or spent most of today pondering what to do with that spare £1800 you had lying around, here is the ultimate vintage dress for you. It's from the 1970s and is a slice of striped sublimity in my books! Yes, the price is difficult to look at but sometimes it's just nice to stare at a pretty dress every now and again.
