The catalogue for the sale of the contents of the London and Scottish homes of Bunny (Neil), Alan and Alastair Roger. The three bachelor brothers amassed a huge collection of furniture, decorative objects and pictures which were auctioned by Sotheby's in 1998. Photographs of their furnished houses in London and the Scottish Dundonnell estate are included. A selection of items from Bunny Roger's wardrobe are listed, including a couple of extraordinary sequinned cat-suits.

Good; light shelf wear to wrappers, slight creasing to front lower forecorner and rear wrapper, slight fading to top edge.

Neil Munro "Bunny" Roger (9 June 1911 – 27 April 1997) was an English couturier and socialite. Roger's best-known contribution to fashion was his popularization of Capri pants.

Early years

Neil Munro Roger was born 9 June 1911 in London to Sir Alexander Roger and Helen Stuart Clark, both from Scotland. He attended the Loretto School and read History at Balliol College, Oxford for a year; he then studied drawing at The Ruskin. He was expelled from Oxford for alleged homosexual activities.

Career

In 1937, Roger established his dressmakers, Neil Roger, in Great Newport Street, London. One of his clients was Vivien Leigh.

In the Second World War, he was commissioned in the Rifle Brigade in 1941 and served in Italy and North Africa. Roger was a war hero known for his courage under fire. A story that may be apocryphal has him replying to a sergeant's question regarding approaching Germans, "When in doubt, powder heavily."

Following the war, he was invited to run the couture department at Fortnum & Mason. He invested in the House of Amies, and his stake was later acquired by Debenhams in 1973.

Capri pants, introduced by fashion designer Sonja de Lennart in 1948, were popularized by her and Roger.

Roger was a clotheshorse who bought up to fifteen bespoke suits a year and four pairs of bespoke shoes or boots to go with each suit; each suit was said to have cost around £2,000. He favoured a neo-Edwardian look: four-buttoned jackets with broad shoulders, narrow waists, and long skirts. He favoured narrow trousers and a high-crowned bowler hat. He was particularly fond of spectator shoes and ruby cufflinks.

Roger was known for the lavish and outrageous parties that he held throughout his life. These events were often themed, as in the Diamond, Amethyst, and Flame Balls held to celebrate his 60th, 70th, and 80th birthdays, respectively.

Death

Roger died in London on 27 April 1997. He was 85 years old.

Great makeup wipes by Pacifica. Second time ordering! 💗💗
Size: 30 Count (Pack of 1), Size: 30 Count (Pack of 1)
**Updated review, 9/23/2025** I love this brand so much, and this is now my second time using these Pacifica Beauty Makeup Remover Wipes. I love how these make my skin look, as well as their ability to remove makeup and other impurities on my skin. These wipes used to come with a plastic-type flip-top (which made them easy to dispense). The new format is still easy to dispense; however, there is less plastic, which is fine by me (less waste). The wipes pop-up just fine, and I have no issues with getting one wipe out at a time. These are lightly scented orange and vanilla, which is a pleasant scent to me. Each wipe is a decent size, and I can use one wipe and get a lot done- with them being soft and a nice thickness. I also appreciate the texture of these wipes, as they have the ability to remove makeup very well. Even my mascara comes off easily, and without having to use a lot of wipes. I tried to show the size (and texture) in my photo; these wipes are a perfect size, and capable of getting a lot done with just one! The best part (in my opinion), is how beautiful and glowy these wipes make my skin look. The added glycolic acid really gives my skin a radiant glow, and I'm in love with how pretty my skin looks after using. I also like these for a quick refreshment; the wipes smell so pleasant and clean. Pacifica uses simple and clean ingredients, and are also vegan & cruelty-free; these work well, and I think they're s great value for a pack of 30. I absolutely these makeup wipes, and they're a great part of my skincare routine. These exceeded my expectations, and are now my favorite brand of facial/makeup wipes. I would definitely order these again, and already have! These are a great product to have on hand, and I adore them! ✨️

Nice

It’s a little drying, but it smells like citrus and I love that. It is really cleansing and easy to use.

Nicely scented and effective
Size: 30 Count (Pack of 1)
I like that these wipes seem to take the makeup off and pleasantly scented. I will continue to order. The size of the wipe is generous. I wish they were more exfoliating but I use other products for that.

Love the scent, but the performance falls short.
Size: 30 Count (Pack of 1)
I always love the smell of Pacifica products, and these are no exception—the scent is lovely. Unfortunately, the actual effectiveness falls short of great. They seem to remove my foundation okay, though it takes a little more effort and scrubbing than other wipes I’ve used. The real issue is eye makeup; instead of removing it, the wipe mostly just smudges it around. It never comes off fully, so I always have to follow up with a separate product to get my face actually clean. If you wear minimal makeup, these might be fine, but for anything more, they struggle.

as described, i love these!
Size: 30 Count (Pack of 1)
I know a lot of brands always like to boast about their items having this and that in them with no effects but I actually do feel that you can feel the product in these wipes. 1. they have a texture to the wipe so you feel like your truly exfoliating when wiping your face. 2. I like the smell, easy enough. 3. They do leave my skin feeling glowy. I will say that if you're having trouble with your skin barrier, these aren't the product to need to use at that time because you will feel the sting from these. Which shows me that the product does actually contain all the things it says.
