On Wednesday 16 December, the Fashion Vintage department presents a tribute to the style and creativity that have defined the history of twentieth- and twenty-first-century fashion.
The catalogue, comprising 168 lots, features an exclusive selection of handbags and accessories from the most celebrated international fashion houses: Chanel, Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Dior, Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent and many other names that have shaped unforgettable eras.

Among the top lots are a limited-edition Chanel Flap Bag in leather, produced between 1991 and 1994 (estimate: €3,000–5,000), and a Hermès Birkin 35 in red leather, made around 2001 (estimate: €5,500–7,000).
