Natasha Bailie & Amy Phipps Launch New Clothing Line

Congratulations to Natasha Bailie & Amy Phipps who have succesfully launched their first collection of vintage reproduction dresses made from vintage and reclaimed material. La Luminata got up close and personal with the new clothing range and can conclude that the shape and fit is authentic to the 40’s and 50’s era in gorgeous and wearable soft colours of blue, yellow, pink and green. The quality and attention to detail, plus the fact that you can order your very own made to measure dress makes this a one-of-a-kind treat, for any girl looking for something a bit special. I predict the Phipps, Bailie collaboration growing much further…
