The most elegant vintage apparel brought to you by Lucile Best
“You must have a very strong sensitivity to objects, a great memory and an extremely good eye for detail in order to authenticate and assess an object. ”
Always impeccably turned out, Lucile’s grandmother instilled in her a deep appreciation for fashion. As a girl, Lucile admired her grandmother’s scarves, bags and tailored outfits as well as the collection of jewels and furs she had inherited from her own grandmother. Lucile went on to pursue her auctioneers certification and was employed by Sotheby’s, Paris. She specialises in vintage leather bags and once appraised a Birkin in crocodile leather with white-gold metal fixings adorned with diamonds that was estimated at over 100,000 euros. With her experience as an auctioneer, along with a life-long love and deep knowledge of art and fashion, Catawiki was proud to welcome Lucile to the team in 2021. She is excited to be able to unite her two great passions and share her knowledge with both buyers and sellers.
