CUMMERBUNDS!

Perfect for the Holiday Season!​

1) Vintage Turnbull & Asser of Jermyn Street, London, dark red velvet cummerbund. Judging by the label, this likely dates from the 1960s--and so would likely have been worn to dinner parties in Mayfair and Chelsea at the height of the Swinging Sixties, at which time a dark red velvet cummerbund would have been considered dangerously racy! Made in England. In Very Good/Excellent condition. Asking just $35, or offer, boxed and shipped in the USA.







2) Brooks Brothers cummerbund, red with neats. All silk. Excellent condition. Made in the USA. Excellent condition. Just $29, or offer, boxed and shipped in the USA.





3) Unknown maker, unknown material--but a really lovely cummerbund! Black with a geometic shadow pattern in the background and white fleurs in the foreground. Just $22, or offer, boxed and shipped in the USA.
