I do love a good bit of vintage – nothing quite beats the subtle smugness of knowing no one else has the same piece as you – so the news this week that vintage queen Susan Caplan has unveiled her first collection of designer accessories alongside her current jewellery offering was welcomed with open arms. A connoisseur of collating the most spectacular jewels from the 30s to the 90s, Caplan’s pieces of everything from Chanel to Givenchy already have a cult celebrity following, in recent weeks they have adorned the likes of pop starlets Jessie J and Nicola Roberts everywhere from Daybreak to Glasto.
The new collection of accessories includes silk scarves from Chanel, Lanvin, YSL and other iconic fashion houses, as well as retro sunglasses – a veritable feast for any vintage lover, all we need now is for her to branch into clothing and Susan Caplan Vintage Collection will be a one-stop shop. Currently online at www.susancaplan.co.uk are a pair of serious beauties – cult 80s Celine faux tortoiseshell shades with brown lenses, gold tone finish and that classic Celine horse & carriage logo. Beyond gorgeous.
