Good like a wine, yes? Well, out of my mothers closet today, I pulled a very cool, vintage (although I'm sure it was originally fashionable back when she bought it) handbag. My handbag is falling apart from being battered day in day out, so I've retired it from everyday use. In its place, is this fantasmic piece of leather.
So, the question I'm pondering, is when does something go out of fashion, and at what point does it become "vintage" thereby rendering it cool to use it again? As for this bag, well, it looks like it's been bought old, its in really good condition. Mum says she bought it in around 1992, when I was about 2.
For your final verdict, I present, the photo of the bag. Yay or nay to this particular vintage?
I think once a style comes into fashion after that decade has finished, that makes it a vintage. We had the 90's look a year or two ago, where scrunchies and borderline 80s/90s fashion suddenly appeared in all our stores, so I'd definitely go for that bag being vintage.
