An important and truly breathtaking one-of-a-kind metallic gold lamè trained couture dress custom-made for icon Yma Sumac. This ultra rare masterpiece dates back to the mid 1950's. Yma Sumac (1922–2008) was a noted Peruvian soprano and the original Queen of Exotica. Her international fame began in the early 1950's and she became the most famous proponent of exotica music. She is remembered best for her extraordinary vocal range, which was well over four and a half octaves. She was also quite the fashionista, and in 2010 'V' fashion magazine voted her one of the top 5 World Muses! 

Crafted from opulent metallic gold lamé, the dress features a seductive sculpted low-plunge bustier bodice with inner boning construction and a padded bust for a flawless, figure-enhancing fit. The garment's most striking feature is the unique, fluid train, which offers endless styling possibilities. Whether draped around the neck as a dramatic scarf or left flowing in a cascade of liquid gold to the floor, the train enhances it's unique 'Old Hollywood' allure. The front slit, combined with the gown’s sleek, hourglass fitted silhouette, offers a quintessential femme fatale vibe—effortlessly glamorous and impossible to ignore. As Damon, Yma Sumac's personal assistant, told me, "Yma loved elegance mixed with a touch of exotic. I was fascinated to see how much effort was put into each piece and what was added inside for the perfect physique". A piece like this is more than just a dress—it's a true work of art and a rare treasure that encapsulates Yma Sumac's extraordinary life both on and off the stage. This one-of-a-kind creation is a testament to her timeless elegance and the lasting impact she made on the worlds of both music and fashion. An iconic slice of 'Old Hollywood' glamour that would be an epic red carpet look.

Useful, Nicely-Designed Organizational Tray
Color: Black Frame
Purchased on behalf of another person, when asked they stated they adored this dresser tray. They found it the right size to hold everything they needed it to, a helpful way to stay organized, and easy to move and use. The price is what made them purchase it but they found it to be of a nice quality once they got it set up and have been using it daily ever since. Would recommend.

Stylish, well sized valet tray. Would highly recommend
Color: Brown Frame
Stylish valet for your dresser, desk or wherever you would like to place it. I got tired (and so did my wife) of me just emptying my pockets on the dresser at the end of each day. Junk would accumulate, change would accumulate and everything was all spread out. This tray is stylish and made of good quality leather. I really like the different size partitions making its storage capacity perfect and done so neatly. Now my items are organized and easy to grab the next day making it functional at the same time.

Simple and Super Useful
Color: Black Frame
This tray is great. It looks really nice on my desk and gives me one easy spot to drop everything—phone, wallet, keys, sunglasses, glasses, and whatever else I’m carrying that day. Keeps things organized and adds a clean look to the space.
