Pasadena, CA—John Moran Auctioneers is delighted to announce their November 5th luxury clothing and accessories auction, a catalogued sale of more than 400 lots.

Also offered are accessories such as Hermes scarves and cashmere throws, Jo Malone fragrances, and jewelry by New York designer Ted Muehling.
The selection of designer women’s clothing offers a range of iconic styles, highlighted by evening and day dresses, coats, suits and sportswear by Chanel, La Croix, Lagerfeld, Versace, Dolce & Gabbana, Oscar de la Renta, Valentino, Prada, Chanel, Hermes, Courreges, and Gaulthier, and a large number of elegant, classic creations dating from the 1960’s and 70’s that arrive from the collection of a lady of exceptional taste.
