EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the fashionable world of the early 1900s with this image of a stylish woman adorned in Gamages' lizard skin accessories. Dating back to 1909, this advertisement showcases the luxurious and exotic allure of Gamages' collection. The woman in the photograph wears a chic lizard skin hat, its textured surface adding an air of sophistication and elegance. The hat's wide brim shields her face from the sun, while its narrow ribbon band secures it in place. Her gloved hand cradles a lizard skin muff, its rich, warm hue a perfect complement to her outfit. Lizard skin was a popular choice for fashionable accessories during the Edwardian era, and Gamages' offerings were among the finest. The prices listed in the advertisement reflect the exclusivity and rarity of these items, with the hat priced at 12 shillings and 6 pence, and the muff at 15 shillings. This advertisement is a testament to the enduring appeal of exotic materials in fashion, and the allure of the exotic that continues to captivate us today. The woman in the photograph exudes confidence and style, making it clear that these accessories were not just functional, but also a statement of wealth and status. As we admire this image from the past, we can't help but be transported back in time, imagining the world of opulence and glamour that Gamages' lizard skin accessories once represented.
