Going Going Gone.....It's SOLD!!

'Regrets? I've had a few,

But then again, too few to mention.

I did what I had to do

And saw it through without exemption'.

And yes, it S-O-L-D.....the Chanel letter 'A' was snapped up my a rather charming gentleman who fell for it's charms while he was flicking the pages of this months Belle magazine......

Oh well, never mind....as my mother so cleverly pointed out "where was I going to put it in our rather space concious abode"???

Chanel Letter 'A' ....as featured in Belle Magazine Luxury Edition

Wow.....how amazing does this look?  The Chanel letter 'A' from Baz Lurhmans 'Chanel' TV advert featuring Nicole Kidman, is featured in the June/July edition of Belle Magazines 'Luxury Edition'.



All of the letters from the 'Chanel' advert were cleverly sourced by quintessential duckeggBLUE, and sold within days of reaching the shop floor......in fact, our first blog post featured the letter 'C' which was quickly 'bagged' by a stylish customer named Catherine.

The letter 'A' was purchased by myself, never to be sold again.....however since being featured in Belle magazine it is now back on the shop floor........P.O.A (I'm not in a rush to part with it)!!

Need I say more......it has a rather large price ticket, but hey, where would you find another of these?  Exactly! A one-off, and this is the last one available from the original 6 Chanel letters.  An iconic 'find' with Australian and international brand recognition.  Better start saving.....

Found.....Vintage Print Block Art Back In Store


Circa 1910, sourced from Scotland, printers type set print blocks, mounted into type set draws frames from original printers draws, can now be viewed at quintessential duckeggBLUE.
Proving exceptionally difficult to source, our type set alphabet & numbers were salvaged from a Scottish printers factory, and have since been lovingly waxed and mounted ready for you to enjoy.

After our first artworks sold out within days, we have just received our new 'finds'....all of which are displayed 'on the wall' alongside artist, Clare Goddards, delicate, handmade collages.

Also featured in the June/July edition of Belle Magazine Luxury edition, the artworks are priced from $295 to $495.

Fashion Week Review - Ginger & Smart Summer 2010

Direct from the catwalk at the Overseas Passenger Terminal building in Sydney yesterday morning, duckeggBLUE staff & myself viewed Ginger & Smart at Australian Fashion Week.

Ginger & Smart channelled positive energy into their new Summer 2010 collection, The Transcendent.  Being the fourth state of consciousness, lies beyond waking, dreaming and sleeping, the collection is inspired by the blissful moment of wakefulness and of a future beauty and positiveness, all translated into abstract prints - Ginger & Smarts successful signature handwriting.







Breezy shirt dresses and perforated leather tops, knotted skirts and dresses to cropped harem pants - this collection showed highlights of wearable pieces for Summer 2010, which of course will be available at duckeggBLUE from July 2010.

Darling! What is that on your 'Dressing Table'? Why Mrs.Press Of Course...

From divinely scented heady candles, sophisticated soaps set on English china saucers, draw liners to ensure that your Mrs.Press silk slips and knickers are kept sweet smelling in your chest of drawers to luxury bath & shower gels and nourishing body lotions, Mrs.Press knows how to impress us!


Light fragrances of Magnolia, Tea Rose & Warm Spice and added vitamin E, the Dressing Room collection from Mrs.Press will delight all modern girls.

In store from Wednesday 5th May...perfect timing for Mothers Day!
