And thanks for the advice re the bag. Now, when you say it - it looks like from the late 60’s. Another clue is that the wallet that came with it does not have any compartments for cards, but a lot of compartments for bills and coins. Probably older than 80’s... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-thrifted-bag#post-2070815 Mon, 21 Oct 2019 22:45:07 +0000 Anonymous 2070815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dark chocolate bag and footwear with salmon and cream is stunning. Once again , your scarf pulls everything together beautifully.<br /> I suspect the bag may be from the late 60’s. It is so lady-like. My fashionable aunt was going through a brown period and that bag would have fit in with her brown tweedy suits. She would have had brown leather gloves and a hat to match or blend in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-thrifted-bag#post-2070809 Mon, 21 Oct 2019 22:37:15 +0000 Angie 2070809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GORGEOUS as always, <b>Katerina.</b> The brown is lovely with the cream and apricot.

I must admit that the wool creme trousers are not the most practical and dry clean only, so I don´t wear them very often. I am also prone to spilling coffee on my clothes, so I know what you are talking about :-)<br />The bag is a bit of a puzzle. The lining is in dark brown suede. There is no label or name anywhere whatsoever in it. The gold decoration might be a logo of some kind, but I don't know what or if it is. The funny thing is, that there was a brown wallet inside it, that came with the bag (they sold these as a set). The wallet is from Pierre Cardin and the leather looks identical to the leather on the bag. However, why isn't there any kind of label or a sign inside the bag? That made me think that the bag is probably quite old and of another make than the wallet.... But I am by no means an expert, just wild guessing.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-thrifted-bag#post-2070705 Mon, 21 Oct 2019 17:47:55 +0000 Kate 2070705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is one gorgeous outfit! Those trousers are great, and I love the color of the jacket. Now to the bag. Love it. Beautiful hardware on it, and a lovely dark brown. I like that it can be worn both ways. You made a wonderful score.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-thrifted-bag#post-2070655 Mon, 21 Oct 2019 16:30:33 +0000 ophelia 2070655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous. All those colors together with your hair and skin are gorgeous! The bag gives a nice dark accent. Yummy.<br /> That is my fantasy self palette. For the self that doesn't spill soda.<br /> For me, the only way to guess at the age of a bag is to examine the inside of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-thrifted-bag#post-2070654 Mon, 21 Oct 2019 16:17:04 +0000 Katerina 2070654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dear Fabbers,<br /> Yesterday, I went to one of my favourite charity shops and found this large brown crocodile patterned leather clutch. It has an optional strap as well to be able to wear it as a shoulder bag. Mint condition. I think it might be from the eighties or older. I love the shiny texture, the chocolate colour and the generous size.&nbsp; What do you think? How old do you think it might be?</p> <p>I wore it directly with this outfit:<br /> Salmon neoprene coat, white wool ankle trousers, brown suede chelsea boots and large silk scarfves (2 scarves together for more volume - similar colours in both).&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
