Purple Reigns
With the recent birth of Prince George in the UK, and the many shades of purple adorning the fall runways, purple seems perfect for a Parade this September. “Born in the Purple” was originally used to describe the children of royal and other prominent parents and the color purple itself has often had a royal connotation.
This week we feature a collection of vintage in all shade of purple: from “royal” purple to plum to lavender. Purple reigns!
