Luxury Fashion

July marks the beginning of the most anticipated season of the year: a time of departures, journeys, and special occasions to be enjoyed with effortless elegance. Before the holiday season begins, treating oneself to a special purchase becomes almost a ritual, a celebration of summer and a way to accompany its brightest months with accessories that express style, personality, and aspiration.
The July Luxury Fashion Auction has been conceived in this very spirit, presenting a refined and eclectic selection that spans different eras, maisons, and aesthetic languages.

This catalogue invites collectors and fashion enthusiasts on a journey through some of the most iconic names in international luxury. Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Dior, Gucci, Prada, and Fendi come together in a curated offering that seamlessly blends vintage treasures, contemporary designs, and highly sought-after collector’s pieces. Accessories perfectly suited to summer escapes, whether by the sea or in the world’s most captivating cities, as well as objects destined to become enduring symbols of taste and sophistication.

Undoubtedly, the star of the auction is Hermès, a maison that continues to embody the ultimate aspiration for collectors and connoisseurs around the globe. Among the most prestigious lots is an exceptional Kelly in the iconic Gold colour, the warm and luminous shade that has become one of the defining signatures of the French house. The Kelly is far more than a handbag: it is a timeless icon, a true object of desire whose demand often exceeds boutique availability, where acquisition is famously subject to exclusive waiting lists. Owning a Kelly means entering an exclusive world where craftsmanship, heritage, and desirability converge.

Alongside Hermès, the catalogue presents a carefully selected range of pieces that trace the evolution of luxury through the decades. Iconic Dior creations are prominently featured, including designs connected to the legacy of the celebrated Lady Dior, the handbag that became a global symbol of elegance through its association with Lady Diana. These are complemented by remarkable vintage handbags which, when styled through a contemporary lens, reveal a striking modernity, demonstrating how the allure of the past continues to inspire the trends of the present.

The world of vintage finds one of its most captivating expressions in Louis Vuitton trunks and travel pieces. Today, these extraordinary creations are no longer merely symbols of elite travel but highly coveted collectibles and interior design statements. Historic trunks and suitcases from the French maison are increasingly incorporated into contemporary interiors as decorative pieces of exceptional character transformed into elegant coffee tables, distinctive furnishings, or simply striking focal points capable of bringing history, craftsmanship, and style into the home.

The selection also embraces a variety of materials and aesthetics, from exquisite crocodile handbags by Gucci, celebrating the excellence of traditional craftsmanship, to some of the most desirable contemporary designs on the market today. This diversity allows every collector to discover a piece that reflects their personal vision of elegance, confirming how vintage and contemporary luxury can coexist harmoniously within the modern wardrobe.

The auction is further distinguished by the inclusion, for the first time, of a curated selection of accessories by Gavilane, the prestigious French maison renowned for its high-fashion costume jewelry and accessories. Throughout his career, the designer collaborated with some of the most influential names in international fashion, including Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, and Christian Lacroix. His creations are celebrated for their unmistakable visual language, where Gothic inspirations, Baroque influences, and symbolic motifs merge into a sophisticated and unexpected balance. Heraldic emblems, crosses, spiritual symbols, and skulls, interpreted through the tradition of “memento mori”, become meaningful details, transforming each creation into a miniature narrative universe suspended between art, history, and fashion.

The catalogue also features a remarkable Hermès foulard, an expression of the artisanal tradition that has defined the French maison for decades. Today, the Hermès carré is enjoying renewed popularity thanks to contemporary styling trends that see it worn not only around the neck or in the hair but also tied to handbag handles as a distinctive detail capable of personalizing any accessory. The scarf presented in this catalogue celebrates precisely this versatility: its design illustrates the many ways an Hermès carré can be worn, making it not only an accessory of extraordinary elegance but also a tribute to the creativity and savoir-faire of the house.

As tradition dictates, the catalogue also includes a refined selection dedicated to the world of menswear. The iconic Marinella ties, symbols of Italian sartorial elegance, remain an essential accessory for those who appreciate timeless style. Renowned for the quality of their fabrics, meticulous craftsmanship, and signature patterns that have captivated generations of enthusiasts, they continue to embody a discreet and sophisticated elegance, the perfect expression of Italian taste.

Completing the catalogue is a curated selection of sunglasses from some of the world’s leading luxury maisons. An indispensable accessory for the summer season, sunglasses represent the perfect balance between functionality and style, ready to accompany journeys, seaside escapes, and social occasions alike. It is difficult to imagine a better time of year to choose the accessory that more than any other defines summer elegance.

This auction celebrates luxury in all its forms: from vintage to contemporary, from wearable accessories to collectible masterpieces, from fashion statements to interior design objects. It is a journey through time, style, and desire, offering the opportunity to acquire iconic creations destined to retain their appeal far beyond a single season. An invitation to indulge before the holidays begin, to rediscover the value of exceptional craftsmanship, and to be captivated by objects that continue to tell stories of elegance, creativity, and timeless beauty.
