Unlike their trendy, contemporary counterparts, vintage handbags exist in a class all their own. Their uniqueness and style are unparalleled in fashion and speak of a time when classic design, quality workmanship and ultra-feminine style were not just luxuries–they were the norm.
Vintage handbags are special. To have one is like owning a piece of history. With the increasing popularity of vintage clothing, so there is also a wide variety of well-preserved and restored vintage handbags available on the market today. Each bag has a story to tell–about the time period from which it hails, the long-gone designer who artfully crafted it and the stylish woman who once carried it.
Unlike the mass-produced handbags seen everywhere today, the handbags of yesteryear are quality pieces often made by hand in Europe or the United States. As any fashion shopper knows, most quality designer handbags carry hefty price tags.
Vintage handbags can be a surprisingly affordable alternative for stylish women on a budget. Shop around to reputable vintage shops to compare prices and research on the Internet for the going rate for certain designs.
Usually well-constructed from high quality leather, silks, and wool; vintage handbags make excellent heirloom pieces. Indeed, that is how many of us acquire them from generations of past family. With a little loving care and gentle use, you can extend the useful life of your heirloom well into the next decade.
Vintage style is timeless. It never goes out of style. With the current preponderance of designer handbags (and their look-alike and “inspired†knock-offs), handbags of the current era seem to all look alike.
For fashionable women who are unconventional and who love to stand out as individuals, vintage handbags can be a delightful way to express your unique, classic style and impeccable, good taste.
