Eyewear
My 1990s Gucci sunglasses from the Arezzo antique market: real silver hardware, tortoiseshell arms, and what I check before buying vintage eyewear.
Accessories
Vintage faux fur and how to wear it: capes, stoles, colours, accessories and second-hand buys, with my hooded black cape on the Ponte Vecchio in Florence.
My Style
Made in Italy antiques for the home: Murano glass chandeliers, Carrara and Calacatta marble, and antique lounges reupholstered in velvet and silk.
Bags
Roberta di Camerino: the Venice house behind velvet bags and woven leather, the two bags I own, and why I would choose an original over a later one.
Cars
Vintage leather suitcases for the car: Louis Vuitton, Dunhill, Hermès and Cartier, where to find them, and what I saw at the Goodwood Revival.
Vintage
Roberta di Camerino, founded in Venice in 1945: the velvet, the gondola brass, my woven leather clutch and the bag photographed on Grace Kelly’s arm.
Vintage
I believe second-hand clothes can carry the spirit of their last owner. How I choose vintage pieces that feel right, and what I do when one feels wrong.
