I found this beautiful bag at the Savers yesterday. I was marked $15 but I got it for $12 with a coupon.

I had never heard of "De Vecchi by Hamilton Hodge Made In Italy" before, but it was immediately obvious that this was a quality bag.

It is made of beautiful dark green, thick suede or nubuck and the inside is a soft brown suede. The rolled handle is thick and comfortable and the hardware on this bag is absolutely fabulous!

I did some research and found that Hodge Hamilton had designed for Bottega and Feragamo before collaborating with De Vecchi for about 10 years in the 1990s.

Too bad that the collaboration ended because if this bag is a good example - they did good work together!

It appears to be in good shape and I look forward to cleaning it up and carrying it!

Love vintage bags, my most prized one is my Gucci that my aunt passed down to me. She had it in the protective cloth cover it came in and get this she only wore it a handful of times. What a score, I'm so scared to rock it out to restaurants, I would kill anyone who spilled anything on it.

It sounds gorgeous and what a nice memento of your Aunt! Do you have any photos of the bag?

New vintage fashion TV show called "L.A. Frock Stars"

The Smithsonian Channel will premiere a new TV series about the vintage clothing business on March 7, 2013 but I've just watched the first episode on Infinity On-Demand.

The show centers on a Los Angeles Vintage Boutique that provides vintage fashions for the rich and famous. They claim that "vintage is the new black".

The boutique is called "The Way We Wore" and the owner has grown her flea market business into a multi-million dollar enterprise. The link below is about the show and I really enjoyed watching the first episode.

I watched the show last night and loved it! Did you catch Dukes of Melrose on Bravo Wed night? It deals with the store Decades in Beverly Hills. One socialite came in with 2 dresses she wanted $10K apiece. She originally paid $80K apiece when she bought them in the '80's. If you didn't see it, catch a rerun.

I acquired this vintage Chanel yesterday - in almost immaculate condition, still has the authentication card and original dustbag and looks fab on! Anyone got any idea how old it might be?
