Atelier Mayer vintage finds

Austrian haute couture house Atelier Mayer has been updated to an online boutique for vintage fashion lovers, collectors, students, designers and artists. Inspired by the late Klaudia Mayer, the house was originally founded in 1927. The site features vintage pieces by Balenciaga, Courrèges, Givenchy, Vionnet and Yves Saint Laurent. It is also a platform for inspiration, exchange, ideas, and honour of creation.

The global vintage website is now teaming up with Flirty Flowers and launched a bespoke flower service exclusive to Central London. The idea behind the flower service leads back to Victorian times, where flowers adorned almost everything: hair, clothing, jewellery, gowns, home decor, china and stationery. A special language called Floriography, illustrated where flowers could either please or offend, conveying messages of love or dislike, depending upon the type, their sizes, how they were held or grouped together.

Atelier Mayer offers six bespoke bouquets, designed with seasonal, ethical flowers, inspired by different decades, textiles and fashion icons. The creations are available in three different price categories (£45, £60 and £75) and can be ordered online for same day delivery in Central London. Each bouquet comes with a handmade vintage silk cushion, filled with organic dried lavender to keep moths away and your wardrobe scented.
