Trendy Tip Thursday




Bags, Purses, Clutches, Totes, Hobos!

Make a statement this season with a vintage find.  Look for these fashionable pieces at tag-sales, vintage shops, 2nd hand stores and flea markets.  You never know what you might find!

Buying vintage versions sets you apart, and they often cost less than the priciest 'it' bags.  They may also sport softer leather and sturdier hardware.  Classic clutches are hip and timeless.  I have uncovered some websites that will give you some ideas of what to search for...




Looks a little like a Jackie Kennedy...very elegant. This gorgeous navy blue patent Theodor leather vintage purse with a tortoise Lucite clasp looks GORGEOUS!


Shopping Tips:  Know What You Can Fix...
A broken clasp can be reparied.
An unhinged bag handle can be refastened.
A ripped seam can be restitched.

And What You Can't...
Avoid stiff leather.
Stains or scuffs.
Missing stones or beads.
Signature hardware that is damaged.
