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.

Nice printer
Style: WF-7820, Set: SINGLE TRAY (250 sheets/FAX/ADF/PRINT/COPY/SCAN
Printer work according to what I was expecting . Prints 🖨 great and fast / copy fast . Set up is easy but wifi and wireless connection is very tricky with phone set up . it may take some extra time . I look at videos on you tube for wifi & wireless set up . The APP there's a few App . I install the Epson smart App on my phone. Or the Epson iprint . The panel display will walk you through set up . also work great for me great display . I also like the lower tray went ready to print it comes out automatically and closes automatically went turning printer off .

So fun with good results!
Works great so far! Never used a sublimation printer or heat press before in my life and the shirt below is my attempt. The ghosting was totally user error and not due to the print. The set-up process was a bit long because it involved a 14 minute ink cycle, but the instructions walk you through every step very clearly so there were no issues. Follow them and you will be up and running in about 25 minutes. It did not come with paper as represented so be sure you have some on hand. The print quality is great from my perspective and from my shopping around, it's a great value for the money. There is little to no noise and it prints much faster than I was expecting.

Highly recommended! 🎨✨
This Epson sublimation printer has been one of the best investments for my small business. The print quality is outstanding—colors come out vibrant, sharp, and consistent on every project. Whether I’m printing on mugs, shirts, tumblers, or keychains, the results are professional every single time. Setup was easy, and the ink conversion for sublimation works smoothly. The printer runs quietly, and the prints dry quickly, which helps a lot when working on multiple orders. I also appreciate how efficient it is with ink; it lasts longer than I expected. If you’re starting a sublimation business or simply love crafting, this printer is a game changer. Reliable, easy to use, and delivers perfect prints every time. Highly recommended! 🎨✨
