I  recently had the pleasure of meeting boutique clothing designer Peggy Lutz, who is best known for her upscale couture clothing for plus size women. As I entered the Peggy Lutz studio, I was oohing and ahhing as I had never seen such gorgeous fabrics and designs. Not even on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills would you see fabric and designs that are so exquisite. In addition, let me say that she is the nicest person in real life, and her plus size creations are all works of art that will make you feel like a Queen.

Made In California: At a time when most companies are having their garments made in China, and import their fabric from there as well, Peggy travels to Paris for her quality fabrics, and her designs are made and sewn right here in California. When you order a Peggy Lutz garment, you know that you are getting the finest quality available.

Here's her label if you want to check out Peggy Lutz online.


Collectorofgems is very pleased to have some of her special quality pieces listed in our Ebay store. We will be offering several of her discontinued clothing pieces in the upcoming weeks. Included in this collection are: Drape Lapel Coats, Sparkly Slither Dresses and Pants, Slither tops and Pants, Batik Art-To-Wear, Sueded Rayon Shirts and Pants, Japenese Crinkle Pants, Kimono Caftan Dresses, Hand-dyed Balinese Batiks just to name a few. And if her styles, fabrics, and quality don't amaze you, everything is WASHABLE!

The Peggy Lutz label specializes in creating stunning evening wear and wedding dresses, though below you can see a more casual style jacket on Kathy Bates, which the actress wore in her role in the movie About Schmidt.


This is Kathy Bates wearing a Peggy Lutz spectacular batik jacket for the movie.

    

Peggy says, "It was great fun to see Ms. Bates wearing my Tile Zebra Batik Drape Label coat in the first scene of the movie."

Here's a Peggy Lutz Tile Zebra Batik Shirt made of the same fabric, listed in the Collectorofgems Ebay Store.


Designer Peggy Lutz can usually be found in her Northern California Wine Country atelier surrounded by gorgeous fabrics, unless, of course, she's travelling the globe in search of them! "In all of Paris there is only one man who can give me what I crave: Exclusive, couture fabrics by Chanel, Gaultier, St. Laurent. I found him and them in an obscure shop and return each year for more."

From the article: This Has Got To Go, By Peg Lutz

Peggy says, "Discriminating against fat people is one of the last socially-sanctioned prejudices in America today, and I'm tired of it. Every day, large women are living their lives, looking as beautiful, sexy, and successful as they feel. Stylish clothing, designed specifically to flatter fuller figures, well cut from the finest fabrics, enhances their unique beauty.

Ridiculing overweight women, especially those who are confident, accept their body size, and still think they are sexy and fun, is an attitude, a habit and an accepted practice. And it's gotta go."
