H, I, J, Kay, you really want to know?

L, M, N, Oh yeah, P — Q, R, S’pecially since accessories are my cuppa T.

U need to meet V.

As in V Vintage, recently opened jewel box in Beverly Hills.

Peruse the shelves of the tiny pink-walled salon and find statement-making pieces from all the bigs, including Chanel, Gucci, Nina Ricci, and Yves Saint Laurent with reasonably pricey price tags to match. Or set your sights on delightfully showy but budget-friendly costume jewelry, belts, and clutches from the likes of Judith Leiber and Kenneth Jay Lane or vintage Lucite, Bakelite, and sterling baubles.

Checking back is habit forming, as the one-of-a-kind inventory’s always changing.

W, X, Why?

Z obvious reasons.

V Vintage, 427 North Canon Drive, between Little Santa Monica and Brighton Ways, suite 216, Beverly Hills (310-786-8277 or vvintage90210.com); by appointment.
