An important and truly breathtaking one-of-a-kind metallic gold lamè trained couture dress custom-made for icon Yma Sumac. This ultra rare masterpiece dates back to the mid 1950's. Yma Sumac (1922–2008) was a noted Peruvian soprano and the original Queen of Exotica. Her international fame began in the early 1950's and she became the most famous proponent of exotica music. She is remembered best for her extraordinary vocal range, which was well over four and a half octaves. She was also quite the fashionista, and in 2010 'V' fashion magazine voted her one of the top 5 World Muses! 

Crafted from opulent metallic gold lamé, the dress features a seductive sculpted low-plunge bustier bodice with inner boning construction and a padded bust for a flawless, figure-enhancing fit. The garment's most striking feature is the unique, fluid train, which offers endless styling possibilities. Whether draped around the neck as a dramatic scarf or left flowing in a cascade of liquid gold to the floor, the train enhances it's unique 'Old Hollywood' allure. The front slit, combined with the gown’s sleek, hourglass fitted silhouette, offers a quintessential femme fatale vibe—effortlessly glamorous and impossible to ignore. As Damon, Yma Sumac's personal assistant, told me, "Yma loved elegance mixed with a touch of exotic. I was fascinated to see how much effort was put into each piece and what was added inside for the perfect physique". A piece like this is more than just a dress—it's a true work of art and a rare treasure that encapsulates Yma Sumac's extraordinary life both on and off the stage. This one-of-a-kind creation is a testament to her timeless elegance and the lasting impact she made on the worlds of both music and fashion. An iconic slice of 'Old Hollywood' glamour that would be an epic red carpet look.

Great little jewelry box for quick vacations! Lots of compartments so my jewelry doesn't get lost or tangled! Love the pouch for bracelets, the hooks for my necklaces, the little board with holes for my earrings and the slots for my rings. Made really well and pretty also! Would make a Nice gift!

Necessary for travel
Size: Medium (6.8"W*4.4"D*2.2"H), Color: Purple
This is really cute and looks classy. Quality is very nice. The only thing is the hooks for the necklaces didn’t keep them on, but everything else about this is a must for traveling and not losing or tangling up your jewelry.

LOVE IT!
Size: Large (8.2"W*4.2"D*2.4"H), Color: Beige
I love it. It’s very pretty and simple, in a good way. I plan to use it for all my jewelry and not just for travel. I like that it has a lot of hooks for necklaces and plenty of space for earring and rings. The fabric inside and out seem to be good quality. It’s well made and zips easily. The structure is sturdy as well. The color (white) is just as depicted. I think I got the larger size but it doesn’t feel bulky at all. I like that it comes with an extra pouch for bulkier items. It’s one of the best jewelry boxes I’ve had!

Nice little travel solution for jewelry
Size: Medium (6.8"W*4.4"D*2.2"H), Color: Pink
Cute travel box for my jewelry. The necklace hangers aren’t all that snug, causing my necklaces to fall and tangle some. But otherwise, works as expected.
