I’ve been searching car boot sales, charity shops and eBay for ages now in the hope of finding a vintage leather bag. At one of the last car boots I went to this beauty was hiding amongst some belts and scarves on the end of a clothes rail. It instantly caught my eye and I tentatively asked for the price. To my delight, the lady only wanted £2 for it! It’s got an old 80s Clarks label inside (along with a deceptive amount of space) and is in really good condition. It’s certainly one of my favourite thrifty buys of this year.
It’s the perfect bag for casual daytime outfits. Today I teamed it with a skater dress and scarf for a spot of shopping with my Mum. I bought this dress last year in H&M and it’s great for unpredictable autumn weather as it layers well.
Next on my vintage wish list is the perfect white silk blouse and a beaded trophy top!
What thrifty bargains have you bought recently?
