Ode to Lillie Langtry Cape
Midnight black silk velvet lined in raspberry currant velvet, it is a tribute to a woman who lived a large life. At a time when society preferred women to diminish and be a beautiful setting for others to admire, this was challenge with every pore of Lillei Langtry's being. Men followed her and women secretly wish to be her bravely outlandish joy of jumping without a net. How marvelous a life is that!
The cape is embellished with chains dangling hand made copper and brass art coins, silken flowers trimmed in a golden patina, and Tibetan lamb edging here and there to catch an admirers eye.
Long, elegant and sweeping, the hand made work of art can be purchased for $1,800.

| About Lillie Langtry...
She made advertising socially acceptable, toured with her own acting company, started a winery in America and was a successful owner of race horses. She amassed millions and spent with equal extravagance, the center of attention wherever she went. Intelligent, humorous, fascinating to both men and women, she was admired and idolized by people from all walks of life. At home in the company of Princes and Presidents, artists and poets or simply alone in her garden, she was envied, respected, adored and lampooned, her fame spanned over half a century. Throughout her life she left a trail of broken hearts. A controversial figure who challenged Victorian society's attitudes to women, but was no suffragette.
A unique individual who was years ahead of her time.
