When I met up with Rebecca Dayan at Resale Therapy in Palm Springs, she had just discovered the most expensive rack in the store. With a light, dreamy smile, she tiptoed to greet me dressed in a turquoise, lavender and pink drop waist feathered Louis Feraud dress. The sales clerks fluttered around her, gasping with delight. She looked stunning.
Resale Therapy is a real gem. Located in the middle of the desert this consignment store has everything from complete seasons of St John to 1970s Ungaro and YSL.

Those beautiful Louis Feraud dresses for example. A former employee of the French couturier had consigned them to the store just a few months earlier, straight off the runway. Even though none of us could afford them, we all tried one on. Then Rebecca appeared from behind her fitting room curtain, looking like a fairy tale...
