Wool check coat & hat
Pauline and Errol Boyd were the proprietors of the Queens Ferry Hotel in Vulcan Lane (1961–1970). The hotel was known for its colourful history and as a watering hole for the literary crowd. Pauline shopped at El Jay and at the Tarantella Boutique and bought her shoes from David Elman who was across the lane from the hotel. Read more about Gus Fisher and the El Jay label in the New Zealand Fashion Museum publication Looking Terrific: The story of El Jay.
