Amy’s dad Mitch selling off treasure trove of memorabilia including dress she wore for last-ever concert and iconic Brits bag as they’re too painful to see in lock up
A jazzy collection from Amy Winehouse’s wardrobe is up for sale – including a red heart-shaped bag which wowed fans at the BRIT Awards.
The leather purse was a dazzling contrast to her yellow frock at the 2007 bash and is tipped to fetch £14,000.
Auctioneers expect a similar sum for the dress Amy wore at her last gig in Belgrade, Serbia – a foliage-themed number designed by Naomi Parry.
A treasure trove of memorabilia is being sold by family and proceeds go to the Amy Winehouse Foundation for disadvantaged young people, run by Amy’s dad Mitch and mum Janis.

Mitch, 70, said: “Amy’s belongings were in a giant lock-up and the family decided that while we would keep the most precious, personal items for ourselves, auctioning others would help those in need via the foundation and other charities.
“With the anniversary of her death coming up, every time the family go to the lock-up, it’s overwhelmingly emotional seeing her lovely dresses hanging on the rails, so we decided to auction these show outfits.

“It seems a fitting way to raise funds in her name.”
Beverly Hills-based Julien’s Auctions will sell the gear in November – after many have been exhibited in a world tour.
