I found a 3 piece 50's VICUNA SUIT HELP!

I found a 3 piece 50\'s VICUNA SUIT HELP!

I am in SHOCK!!

Long Post SORRY!
But I am so excited!!

Had to run to the bank and went to Cape Coral as my bank in N.FT Myers lost it's roof so I decided to make a quick stop into a little ole hospital thrift store for a look see.
The only thing I found was this 3 piece 50's suit with a label from Hong Kong...

When I got home I decided to have a really good look at the suit as I knew that most Hong Kong pieces usually had an owner tag and date in inside hidden pockets, couldn't find anything so I pulled the silk lining on the coat up and I don't know what made me pull open a seam but there it was....

I about peed myself with excitement, called my husband and he didn't have a clue so I called Liz, who by the way is STILL having PC problems...sigh...

The construction and quality of this suit is amazing... it is in almost mint condition but has a few age freckles and two light colored spots on the coat, I am NOT touching this....

AND it is a WEARABLE size! Skirt waist =32 Blouse Bust 42 Coat Bust about 44/46

There are A LOT of Pictures but I really need some input on a starting bid, reserve etc etc...

Please Hep Me Hep Me!
Thanks Tori!

I think merelt putting "Vicuna" in the title will get tons of looks. I am no help on a starting bid.

 

Vicuna is definitely going in the title...WOOHOO!
I can't even do anything now, I should at least start writing up the listing...

 

WOW! WOW! WOW!!!!

Even if it wasn't vicuna this is one killer ensemble! The fact that it is
vicuna puts it right over the top! I would put a reserve on this Tori.

Fabulous!

What do you think about that label, Bonwit Tailors? I wonder if it has anything to do with Bonwit Tellers?
This suit was quite likely custom made for a wealthy client.

 

Vicuna is so highly sought after and so rare. This is going to go for big $$$$ !!!

Even more than that, it is 3 pieces and is beautifully tailored. I have only had one suit made in Hong Kong and there work is exquisite.

 

WOW, that is NICE!

Tori that is freakin unbelievable! The quality is soo out of this world. I was reading down the post and was invisioning this dull boring type of suit and then I saw the pics. Of course I should have known better with you buying it that it wouldn't be boring!


Wow coulda knocked me over with a vicuna hair!


Its gorgeous!!!!! Even the inside is gorgeous!
