From Iris Apfel's personal collection: Our most documented piece of clothing from her wardrobe currently on offer: a  Vintage One-of-a-Kind Patchwork Mexican Gown. This double-sided wonder displays different figures on each side, all patchworked together from various pieces of fabric. This is a handmade piece with no label, and we've never seen anything else like it. True, wearable art.

Due to their authentic provenance and the delicate secondhand nature, items from the personal collection of Iris Apfel are final sale and non-returnable. Each piece will arrive with a provenance card.

Dollchunk Bazaar is not affiliated with the estate of Iris Apfel, all of Iris Apfel's items were purchased from recent Iris Apfel Estate public auctions.

ERA: Estimated 1950s - early 1970s.

CONDITION: In good secondhand condition, with some normal wear and tear that comes with age. This is a piece that Iris truly wore, meaning there are visible spots like dirt and lipstick throughout (see photos). We have not attempted to clean it, but a professional could likely remedy if needed. We prefer to think that these signs of wear add significant character.

By purchasing items from Dollchunk Bazaar, you recognize that all items are secondhand--sometimes over 100 years old!-and therefore have normal wear and tear. The condition of all items can be seen in photos. If you have any questions, reach out to customerservice@dollchunk.com before purchasing.
