Why You Should Own a Vintage Purse
You might be considering the purchase of a vintage purse that you can easily wear for either dress-up occasions or for everyday. One of the most obvious and easiest ways to use a vintage handbag is for a dressy occasion or holiday. Purses from the 1930s-60s are exquisite and downright elegant. Use small clutch purses and frail beaded handbags to hold minor, but necessary objects such as keys, lipstick, and credit cards.
For everyday wear, your vintage purse should accent your outfit, not raise eyebrows. A simple Kelly green Kisslock doctor satchel purse can be paired with a black and white strapped wrap dress. A circular baguette vintage purse can be worn with a car coat, patterned tights, and ballet flats. You can easily channel an Audrey Hepburn or Jackie O look with modern pieces and vintage handbags from these stylish eras.
The most popular place to find vintage purses, handbags, and accessories is at yard sales, thrift stores, estate sales, and consignment stores. Remember that you can also search online for true vintage and vintage inspired pieces.
