Fast fashion often forces us to buy the latest “it” pieces available, season after season. Some don’t last after a season and are just fads. We do enjoy shopping for the hottest trends, don’t get us wrong. But since most of our followers live, eat and breathe fashion like us, we can all agree to shopping way more for items that lose their charm quickly instead of opting for more classic pieces. This week, in the spirit of standing out we’ve been hard at work finding classic pieces for you that are vintage and rare. Excited to look different from the rest? Keep reading!
A vinatge bag is usually defined as one that is atleast 20 or more years old but lately that list has started to include 10 year old pieces too. The worth of the vintage piece lies in the fact that it is now rare. There aren’t many (or any) similar pieces left and those that exist are hard to find. So you get the picture now why these pieces will set you apart from the rest. The first piece we can’t wait to show you is the classic Chanel perfume bottle bag. It’s made of plexiglass and has been such a hit since it’s launch. This particular piece is made with a marble effect, featuring the signature chain and clasp of the fashion house. It’s playful, fun and even chic enough to make a classy addition to your dressing table. There’s no way not to love it especially when it’s a rare piece these days with a loyal fan base! Linked at the end of the blog with other great finds in case you want to skip to the end right away. Another super find is the Hermés Kelly 28 in black crocodile leather. It features gold hardware and a sturdy top handle. If buying a new Kelly is exciting, imagine adding a vintage piece to your collection that will truly add to it’s charm. The black color and the clean aesthetic of Hermés makes it a great design to be worn with anything (we mean, anything!)
Bags are not the only vinatge accessory that you can find online. When you see some of the watches we’ve discovered, you’ll be asking for more! From a diamond studded Hublot to a burgundy croc-effect strap Franck Muller, we found elegant designs for a classic and timeless look. These pieces are not only rare but the sheer craftsmenship and detailing that went into creating them can be seen from their designs. The preloved Hublot watch has 4 carats of white diamonds and is made from 18K yellow gold, and comes with an original rubber strap. It’s a huge dose of bling and really, really stunning.
