Valentine’s
Day is just around the corner! It’s the perfect occasion to show the person you
love how much you appreciate them and what better way to do this than by giving
them a truly exquisite gift that will stand the test of time?
We are
celebrating this occasion with our perfect Valentine’s gift - our very own
‘Sugar Plum Fairy’ maquette from The Nutcracker ballet. This delightful tutu is
made entirely by hand and stands at 54cm high. The skirt and bodice
panels are edged in fine silk taffeta, with a delectable rose tinged hem on the
silk tulle skirt. It is encrusted with a combination of sparkling Swarovski
crystals, shimmering seed pearls, and a scattering of very rare, delicately
shaped original 1920s gelatine sequins.
It really
is good enough to eat!
We hope you
have a wonderfully decadent and indulgent Valentine’s Day.
