1970's/80's Banana Republic utility jacket
Born in the early 20th century as practical military and expedition wear, the safari jacket became a symbol of 'adventure' style. While its early associations with colonialism make its history complicated, the jacket has since been reclaimed and reimagined by countless designers and now we know this jacket to be a timeless piece of modern fashion.
Today, the renamed utility jacket is celebrated for its versatility, relaxed tailoring, and effortless chic — a heritage classic that continues to inspire.
Made from a soft, light-weight dark green cotton that will only get better the more it ages. Throw it over anything, dress it up or down, and let it take you from late summer to autumn.

antique silver plated belt buckle bracelet
an incredible relic from the victoria era, a silver plated belt buckle motif cuff bracelet, that fastens on a hinge. it's got a wonderful patina that seems to pick out the details of the design, along the edges, and tracing parts of the belt buckle.
Victorian jewellery is steeped in symbolism, the belt buckle representing the binding of two people together, whether in love or friendship. Not only for romantic love, buckle jewellery was often exchanged between siblings or best friends. In some cases, these pieces were made to honour the enduring memory of a lost loved one.
They were often worn stacked in pairs or one adorned on each wrist. They were not only fashionable but carried deep sentimental value.
