It doesn't look cheap to my eye at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-fullfilled-and-thrifted-white-bag#post-772350 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 15:20:34 +0000 harmonica 772350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo - yes, knowing the difference between wanting and needing is important! You have been such an inspiration for me because of your ability to SYC and also setting a budget and sticking to it. </p> <p>I don't have any dress for real gala events, but that is not part of my lifestyle at all I have a brocade dress with golden threads and bottle green velvet on the upper part of the dress. I find it really beautiful and my grandmother made and it.

I don't have many bags, but I do like it when they lift an outfit up a notch - and cheap looking bags are definitely *not* doing that ;-)</p> <p>I've done some googleing and there are some Brandal productions, Swedish design, handbags out there. They are all marketed as vintage, though no specific decade. The closest I got was some time between 1980-87 for one black clutch, but I do think this one might be a bit older because of the style - but I'm not an expert.<br /> <a href="http://www.digitaltmuseum.no/things/veske/HF/HF-12535?locale=nn" rel="nofollow">http://www.digitaltmuseum.no/t.....?locale=nn</a><br /> <a href="http://www.fixastilen.nu/ilse-vaska-p-486-c-151.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.fixastilen.nu/ilse-.....c-151.aspx</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-fullfilled-and-thrifted-white-bag#post-772339 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 15:02:21 +0000 Mo 772339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hurray on the wardrobe! No idea on the bag, I'm afraid.<br /> Yes, I, too have 'all my bases covered' but it doesn't stop me from wanting It's good to recognize the difference, though. My wanting a jewel toned fine gauge sweater is different than having a legitimate wardrobe 'hole' lol. I have sweaters to keep me warm. And can get an outfit together for all of life's big occasions - funeral, job interview, wedding, travel, fancy dinner, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-fullfilled-and-thrifted-white-bag#post-772298 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 14:07:55 +0000 Raisin 772298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's so great that you have a fulfilled working wardrobe. I can't wait to get there myself. I have no idea about the decade of the bag, but I think it's really nice, looks to be in great shape and not cheap at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-fullfilled-and-thrifted-white-bag#post-772252 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 11:47:49 +0000 TraceyLiz65 772252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great stage to be in where now you are not filing in holes or gaps in your wardrobe, but really defining items that you want to create your style. A leather moto will be fun... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-fullfilled-and-thrifted-white-bag#post-772237 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 10:58:07 +0000 Suz 772237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely bag - looks 60s/70s to me, too. That type of clasp on top was something my mom had. </p> <p>Yay for feeling fulfilled in your current wardrobe; that is great news! Post some pics when you get a chance. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-fullfilled-and-thrifted-white-bag#post-772231 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 10:19:49 +0000 Deborah 772231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a gorgeous bag and it doesn't look cheap to me. It's quite a find. I couldn't date this, but I think I might do an Internet search as I'm quite curious. Something about it suggests 60's/70's. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-fullfilled-and-thrifted-white-bag#post-772228 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 10:16:23 +0000 Rabbit Heart 772228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The bag is wonderful, not cheap-looking at all! And judging by the photos, in excellent condition. I could use one like this myself. I cannot tell which decade it's from, though. Could be anything from 1950s to 1980s. The braided handle is supercute, but I think it makes the bag more suitable for spring and summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-fullfilled-and-thrifted-white-bag#post-772222 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 09:35:20 +0000 harmonica 772222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lately I've been so absorbed in work, so very little shopping has been done. And I can happily admit that my wardrobe is working really well! I actually have everything I *need*, though some stuff are always on my wishlist I have outfits for formal and informal work days, dressy and casual dinners and MOTG outfits (both jeans and skirt / dress options). Mo said something like this some moths ago, and it feels good, but also a bit scary because now I really have to justify what I buy and what should let go. That said - I love the hunt and I'm saving up for a leather moto - and will eventually need help to choose ;-)</p> <p>The autumn, winter, cold spring wardrobe is much easier to work with than the summer wardrobe which is really frustrating. I am sort of covered, but not really happy about this part of my wardrobe, but I'll see what to do with it when time comes.</p> <p>Anyway - I found this vintage handbag in a second hand store the other day. I don't think it is real leather, but it is in good shape. The brand is Swedish, but I don't know which decade it could originate from. Any ideas??</p> <p>I saw several similar white bags in Berlin two months ago, but they were SOO expensive (and probably real leather), so I thought I might find something similar at a better price at some of my thrifting places here.</p> <p>I thought it could be nice for spring and summer. When trying it with today's outfit, I thought it also might be appropriate as a white winter bag too. What do you think? </p> <p>BTW - does it look like cheap plastic? Hmm - I think it looks better IRL than in the pic's</p> <p>All comments and feedback welcome </p>
