A Collection of Five Designer Scarves and Accessories by Balenciaga, Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, and Celine - A collection of designer scarves and accessories featuring pieces from Balenciaga, Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, and Celine. The group consists of four silk scarves with floral, leopard, geometric, and jewelry-inspired patterns, along with a Celine purple chevron cotton terry cloth hand towel. Each item is marked with the respective designer signature or logo, and the Yves Saint Laurent scarf includes a care tag indicating 100 percent silk. Yves Saint Laurent scarf: approximately 25.5 x 25.5 inches Celine silk scarf: approximately 22 x 22 inches Celine towel: approximately 9.8 x 9.8 inches. Four silk scarves representing Balenciaga, Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, and Celine in a single lot provides a summary of the major French fashion houses' scarf programs in a compact acquisition. The Celine purple chevron cotton terry towel is an unusual object -- Celine's lifestyle accessories from this period rarely surface in collections. Collecting across four houses at once in this format is an efficient way to study the differences in each house's design vocabulary.
