Though I usually have my eyes out for Coach bags, I occasionally get lucky with other brands. Don't know if these are truly "vintage" but they make me happy nonetheless!

While in Hilton Head, SC over Thanksgiving I found a wonderful - and HUGE - Brighton duffle for $5. It has a spot on the front that I couldn't even budge in a good long bath. It's kind of crispy and solid. Tried everything in my bag of tricks, oh well. Love it anyway.

And after returning to FL, found this Oroton at Goodwill Bargain Barn for $1! Thanks to expert advice from Katev (thanks!), I washed it too. I have no earthly idea what the previous owner was carrying inside it, but it was a hot mess! Cleaned up well enough to carry though. Thanks to what I've learned on this forum - I recognized this one as a pretty good deal. Saw a new one of the same style on ebay yesterday for $289! Yay! Oroton leather is just gorgeous, with a lot of texture and shine.

Posted here are before pics - just haven't had time for afters.

OMG, I love the brighton bag and aren't oroton bags nice?! Great finds, congratulations!

Thanks...I was amazed at how resilient the lining of the Oroton bag is. It's ivory colored and fuzzy, almost like velvet. But it took a good, hard scrubbing very well. Thanks again for your rehab advice with this one.

I bought this Koret a while back.It says manmade leather, but I have a hard time believing that. What do you think?

It sure looks real, I love hat chain handle, so rich, goes perfectly with the croc!

If the label inside says man-made leather, then it is Very nice job of embossing. I always liked Koret (clothes) back in the 70s...

Yeah, it says man-made soooo...good job with the embossing.

Hey Chow...Happy New Year! Yeah, it's a heavy chain. Hopefully I will carry it this summer.

love vintage chanel but wouldn't want to buy them online...

 

[Millicat]

If it's a reputable seller/reseller online buying is fine, i've bought Chanel, Hermes and Celine vintage items online, all genuine and all in good condition - correction, most in excellent condition.
Know your seller and it's worth it.

There's a vintage boutique that opened (well moved into a bigger location) here in SF recently and has an amazing collection of vintage Coach bags along with Gucci and others. I was just there over the weekend and wanted this vintage Fendi dress so badly!

I'd love to visit when I am in the bay area. What is the name?

This is a great bag! I found a vintage gucci bag that is very similar. I have it at the shop being restored. I will post a pic when I get it back. I love vintage bags too!
