I'm doing maintenance on some of my vintage exotic grandes dames this weekend and thought I'd share. Here are my Martin Van Schaak lovelies - 3 in lizard and one in crocodile.



All are in regular rotation at work and at evening events. :smile1:

To all Vintage bag collector, any advise on how to authenticate bags are not well known? I believe it's easier to get paid Authenticator service for LV, Chanel, Hermes. We have very helpful TPF Authenticator for those brand! [emoji2] But what about less known brand or totally not known brand? I can't make comparison because they are discontinued long ago. I've tried to search for thread that authenticate Cartier/Bally/Aigner/Charles Jourdan vintage here but couldn't find. If there is such thread, please kindly let me know. Thanks a lot.

I usually take it for granted that they are authentic. It depends on the quality of workmanship and popularity of the designer. Now with the Bally and Cartier handbags, I would have to authenticate. Also self-authenticate, look for similar bags on popular resale websites or post on this thread. Seeing that we all collect, maybe we could be helpful. I have several Jourdan handbags; I even found a vintage Charles Jourdan leather jacket.

Fleamarket steal, a trumar's ostrich leather bag from the 60's :) I hope to find more great vintage bags in the future. I also have a vintage Dior coin purse.

Thanks! I will spend more time looking closely at vintage bags listed. Hopefully I can learn that way. Etsy have a lot! [emoji7]

Yes it is real ostrich leather! Trumar's made quite a few ostrich bags. :)

I attached a picture of the vintage Dior wallet in snake skin. I can fit my cards and my change. I use it most of the time.

What a nice surprise to hear from someone on this thread...I appreciate the info :)

Though I've been more active on the Coach forums recently, I've always got my eyes open for other vintage bags. I bought 3 bags from a local seller on craigslist back in March. I posted on the AT and ID Chanel threads, with no luck. I probably will pay for authentication, just hoping for encouragement to do so. I'm confident in the first, but the other 2 have me stumped. Does anyone here recognize these bags? Any info is greatly appreciated.

Did you get the ladies authenticated? I am just so curious about your great collection. :D

Awww, they are BEAUTIFUL, Manelieht! I love ostrich, though I only have one so far. I also have one Dior snakeskin crossbody bag in similar color to yours. These bags are fun, aren't they? Especially if you can get them at a bargain price:tup:
