Thank you, I adore it.. and as far as I know they are. My great grandmother use to own a fine fur shop in San Francisco, so I simply don’t see her buying anything other than ‘the finest of materials’. Haha
I think the terms are applied differently for fashion. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vintage_clothing I think this has been discussed previously on the forum though, so you could probably do a search and see what has been said in the past
My latest purchase from my local vintage shop: a Waldybag (with a little silk purse and a mirror inside) and a French made leather belt.
Here is my collection of vintage bags designer and non designer i love them all equally nothing beats their quality and good looks of this oldies .
1- Coach black glove tanned leather ergo hobo
2- vintage Chanel lambskin chocolate brown mini tote from 1997
3- Fendi pequin bag from maybe the 80s or 70s era that I accidentally broke the strap[emoji25]
4- vintage Chanel medium Diana flap in black lambskin from early 90s
5- beaded/embroidered bag in velvet that belonged to my grandma around the 60s era
6- Made in France navy blue leather top handle bag from the brand Simpsons a no longer existing department store in Canada
7- Alligator vintage clutch i got in the thrift store for 4 dollars no names or markings at all but is glorious lined with the softest leather.
8- Prada vintage nylon tote that i got the straps altered shorter since it was very long and awkward on me and is my rainy day bag.
I hope you enjoy my collection i am a huge fan of anything vintage specially fashion and luxury.[emoji3]

Here’s my latest vintage piece. Chanel lambskin tote from ‘86-‘88. She arrived looking a little worn and tired - leather was faded and rubbed, and the corners damaged. I’ve restored the leather, repaired the corners and given her a good polish, including the chain, and she’s good for years to come!

*Chanel duma backpack*
Hello ladies! I bought my first vintage chanel piece and I'm wondering if any of you can give me some advice. I purchased a vintage chanel backpack in what was listed as in "very good condition". The bag did not come with a dust bag, authenticity card, or box and was purchased through fashionphile. Judging by the pictures I provided, would you say:
1) I paid a fair price? (2,800) *the serial number is missing*
2) How do you recommend I spruce up the bag
3) I'll take any other advice you all may have.
Thank you!

Hi! I used Fiebings black leather dye on the parts where the leather had lost colouration, then I used Kiwi black gloss boot polish on the entire bag. Allowed it to dry, then sealed it with Fiebings Leather Sheen. For the corners I used Scratch Doctor leather filler, then Angelus black leather paint, then sealed with the Leather Sheen. For the chain I used Armoral leather wipes, which cleaned the leather and the metal too. Then buffed with a microfibre cloth. Any bits of leather through the chain that had lost colour I touched in with a black Sharpie.
Hope this helps!
