DYSON chrome mini telescope monocular, a promotional item given to magazine editors at the launch of the DYSON vacuum in the early 1990s to promote the telescoping wand. Pretty cool, right? Perfect for a gift, and a quality item, not a cheap thing. I don't know who made the lenses--it is not marked--but James Dyson would never cheap out on a product, even a promotional item.

About me: I’m a NYC-based photo and video prop stylist, set designer, & decorator for magazines like Real Simple, Instyle, Modern Luxury & others. I’m also a stealth shopping/ sourcing powerhouse, and can source an antique or a special prop for a photo shoot, movie set, or fashion designer with my eyes closed. I started my career in New York City in the late 1980s dressing display windows at Henri Bendel & the elegant Bergdorf Goodman on Fifth Avenue in the glory days of real story-telling windows. It was there that I learned the art of styling designer clothing & creating an aspirational & romantic mood with merchandise. I had access to the finest luxury designer clothing like Claude Montana, Pauline Trigere, Coco, and others, and learned about seam construction and the high tech fabrics that were coming out then, and always wanted to know more about fashion history and what led to these gorgeous clothes. I started buying vintage clothing at flea markets and estate sales, and built an incredible collection. My mother also wore lots of Bonnie Cashin so I was aware of the modern minimalists, and sought them out for her. These days I sell some of my vintage finds on eBay & Etsy (see CoolVintageFinds & GreatGuyGifts on Etsy to see my other collections for sale). I am also a home organization expert, the "Clutter Coach" for REAL SIMPLE magazine. I also source props for shoots & work often as photo stylist, putting the finishing touches on interiors & location shoots. and since I’m shopping constantly, and love fancy estate sales I scour them regularly and with great skill; the result is an online shop that I consider a finely curated collection of vintage clothing, home accessories, & mid century odds and ends from high end homes in the New York City area. I also take consignments from fashion stylists & fashion editors I know in NYC who have packed closets filled with designer garments they bought, received as gifts from designers, or used on photo shoots and are in perfect condition--all sold here & ready for new fashionistas to enjoy them.
