Buy a Piece of Fashion History - Coco Chanel's Dress

Coco_2 Well, here it is: your chance to own a beautiful Chanel dress, and, just to clarify here, when I say "Chanel dress" I mean "a dress that was actually worn by Coco herself". This classic little black dress was worn by Coco on the cover of her autobiography, and is currently hanging in the window of London's One boutique on Ledbury Road. The price tag? Oh, a mere £2,3000 - which is actually less than I would have expected for such a piece of fashion history.

If the LBD isn't quite your style, there's plenty of other vintage pieces to whet your appetite, and you don't have to worry about fit, either: the staff at the store are all trained seamstresses who will tailor your purchase for the perfect fit. You lucky, lucky Londoners!
