Flappers rush in

Roberto Cavalli was heard to exclaim that “The flapper is back!” at the spring opening of the Poiret: King of Fashion show in New York. The evocative revival of this vibrant 20th century fashion resulted in a flurry of catwalk collections and is being championed on this side of the Pond by Sassy & Boo, a new and gorgeous boutique in the most fashionable quarter of Georgian Bath.

Nestling in a sunny pedestrian street, flanked by bustling cafés and just a Beau’s footstep from the Royal Crescent and Circus, Sassy & Boo is a temple to the art of combining vintage and modern in a breathtaking fusion of style. Here you will find the prettiest vintage bags, jewellery and accessories alongside some of the most desirable contemporary labels such as Stills, Baby Ceylon and Blank. But the big news this year is Sassy & Boo’s own range of three exclusive 1920s beaded dresses, expertly reproduced from original patterns, each one taking an average of six weeks to hand sew.

Starting at just £360 for the classic ‘Flapper Fringe’ dress and rising to £380 for the supremely elegant vintage cocktail dress, the collection represents real value and inimitable style. Completing the trio is a 1920s ‘Egyptian’ dress and all three dresses are supplied complete with under-slips.

To maximise the impact of arriving at an evening event, Sassy & Boo has also commissioned a chic Erté-inspired black silk velvet opera coat – the perfect complement to any of the dresses – at £275.

Callers at Sassy & Boo can enjoy a personal fitting and styling session, but if you really can’t tear yourself away for a day in Britain’s most beautiful city, all the dresses and accessories are available by mail order.

And, as Christmas approaches, why not treat someone special to a wonderful package of vintage style with a Sassy & Boo gift box? At prices from £50 to infinity, the boxes can contain any combination of accessories, jewellery, bath and body products that you choose. Last year they were the talk of the town, so see www.sassyandboo.co.uk or call 01225 447938.
