www.ladies-compacts.com - About Us   www.ladies-compacts.com is basically myself, Nigel Rigby, and my wife, Jennifer.  Jenny has been a collector for years and I have got caught up in the hobby through her, I've always said that I must be the male world expert on compacts through osmosis (it turns out there's a chap with a doctorate in compacts or something!).  Anyway, I am an IT bod and love mucking around with websites and this just seemed like a good idea. I realised that there are just hundreds of variations of thousands of types of Compact.  There is a good chance that some of the items that we own are unique and that no one else has them or knowledge that they exist.  I thought to myself "there must be lots of people out there in the same position".  If we could share and pool our knowledge we can extend the overall knowledge available.  Up until now we only have a few books* as a reference and there is nothing on the Internet that gives a consistent free resource for Compact Collectors.  So here it is.  It's designed for all to reference and add to, Oh I do hope people add to it we only have a few hundred compacts ourselves which we will post ourselves. We are Powder Compact Collectors ourselves but hope that collectors of all types of compact will add to this pubic and free resource.  We hope that Solid Perfume Collectors and Collectors of other Vanity items such as Reticules and the like will also add their items. I can't see how we will ever make any money out of this, as it is such a specialist area, so please click on the adverts whenever you find something useful on our site to you. We hope you like the site and find it useful, Warm Regards Nigel and Jennifer Rigby Established August 2004 *Books. Although I am a computer man, books are always better in their way. I would just like to pay homage to Roselyn Gerson, who has been the author of a magnificent series of books on compacts.  These have become bibles to us and we recommend that everyone gets a copy or two or three!  We have all the editions of all the Books by the following authors and each has additional information in them. I should point out that the older editions are still worth buying because they have information in them that is not in later editions.     Also I would like to point out Laura M Meuller's Books which are also fantastic resources for the Ladies Compact Collector.   Finally the following book by Juliette Edwards is also a small but good additional resource.
