Since June 2005, these enormously popular and highly-attended auctions have attracted collectors, fashionistas and dealers from around the world. They often feature special preview parties and events that offer buyers the opportunity to carefully view the items in the auction and local socialites the opportunity to view each other.

Leslie Hindman Auctioneers is planning seasonal auctions of vintage couture and accessories which will continue the tradition of focusing international attention on the auction market for couture and allow our clients to combine today’s trends with the original, innovative designers who set them – Norman Norell, Pauline Trigere, Christian Dior, Givenchy, Chanel, Pucci, Courreges, Pierre Cardin, Hermes and countless others.

Our department is always accepting consignments for upcoming sales, and we would be pleased to review photographs of your items or schedule an appointment to provide you with auction estimates for your property. If you would like to discuss the sale of your vintage couture and accessories, please call Abigail Rutherford at 312-334-4234 or email her at abigail@lesliehindman.com.
