Paco Rabanne was a Spanish designer who became known as "l'enfant terrible (unruly child) of the 1960s French fashion world. He began making jewellery in unusual materials for many of the French couturiers and in 1964 at the age of 30 presented his first collection. In 1966 he had his breakout show: “Twelve Unwearable Dresses in Contemporary Materials.” and it was with this show that he found his calling. He was quoted as saying “sewing is a bondage,” and made his dresses out of paper, plastic and metal, which were pieced together with wire and glue. By 1968 some of the most famous women in the world were wearing his pieces and along with André Courrèges and Pierre Cardin, he helped to create the 1960s Space Age movement.

Metal discs in gold are mixed with rows of silver to create this iconic, museum worthy Paco Rabanne dress. The discs are hand linked together one by one to create the shape and form that you see. The shoulder straps are topped by big oval metal plates that have hidden hooks under them and act as closures to the dress. Another large oval disc sits at the back just above the keyhole. The bodice is square cut and the shape is almost like a gladiator's tunic, that ends in a short mini length that shows miles of legs. The center of the dress, with its draped gold toned aluminum chains, is the focal point of the piece. The cut out leaves your entire midriff bare and the chains add unexpected movement. Most examples from this time period are a monochromatic silver and it is unusual and rare to find a mix like this one. Early examples of his work like this dress are held mainly in museums around the globe and pieces rarely come to market. It is exceptional. It's modern day provenance includes being worn by Naomi Campbell and Samantha Angelo. Excellent condition

Slips on to wear with hidden hooks under the oval plates at each shoulder and the back. The discs give it an almost bias cut in the way it sits on the body so it will fit a variety of sizes.

Great underwear
Color: A-5pack, Size: Large
Snug and moveable at the same time. Not super thick, dont roll up like other brands. Super comfy. Not seamless and doesn't have tummy control. Wasn't looking for those things. Covers areas great! Bought multiple packs, just wish there was multiple color options.

Good quality, not for thick thighs
Color: A-5pack, Size: Large
Good quality and very soft material, true to size as well. Colors hold and I love the full coverage in the back without looking like Granny panties. Washes well and good thickness of fabric. HOWEVER! If you have thicker thighs I do NOT recommend. The fabric bunches when I walk around too much, and becomes very irritating on your very upper thigh where it bunches.

Soft breathable underwear
Color: A-5pack, Size: Small
My legit favorite underwear! They are very comfortable and breathable! They wash well and are great for running shorts, jeans, or even just to wear to bed! They are exactly as pictured with length and coverage!

Camp backpack
Color: Flower Pink, Style: Kids-15"h
We bought this backpack for my child’s summer day camp, and it turned out to be the perfect choice! It held up through daily adventures, messy crafts, and more than a few snack explosions — and still looks great. Why it’s perfect for camp: ✔️ Just the right size – Big enough for a water bottle, lunchbox, towel, sunscreen, and a change of clothes — without overwhelming a smaller kid ✔️ Easy to clean – Wipes down well and dries fast after accidental spills ✔️ Fun, kid-friendly design – My child loved the print and could easily spot it in a sea of bags ✔️ Holds up to rough use – After two weeks of daily wear and tear, zippers still work smoothly and no seams have come loose 💡 Bonus: There’s a side pocket for a water bottle and an inside compartment that helped us stay organized — a lifesaver for busy camp mornings.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Adorable, Functional, and Toddler-Approved!
Color: Flower Pink, Style: Kids-15"h
I bought this floral backpack for my daughter’s first year of preschool, and we both absolutely love it! The design is so sweet and feminine—she was so excited when she saw the flowers and couldn’t wait to wear it. It’s just the right size for a toddler, not too bulky but still roomy enough to fit her lunchbox, a change of clothes, and a few small books or toys. The quality is impressive—it feels durable, the zippers are smooth, and the straps are adjustable and comfortable for her little shoulders. There’s even a small front pocket for her little treasures and school notes. It’s held up great so far with daily use, and I’ve already had a few parents ask where I got it. Definitely recommend this for any little girl heading back to school—it’s both practical and super cute!
