I’m trying to limit my expenses with my purse buying because of the pandemic. I still want to feel not needing to sacrifice my passion for purses but at the same time not breaking the bank especially during this time. With that said, I am finding my love for vintage recently. More affordable, and yet, still making my heart skip! Anyway, here are some of my vintage finds recently...

Today, I went into Longchamp today to pick up a repair (to have the corners fixed on my MSH Planetes).

They brought out the bag and it turns out they didn't do any repairs to the bag at all and apologised with embarrassment. I told them just to throw out the bag for me as I had it for 5 years and used that thing to death, as it was looking a bit worn and the zipper would sometimes leave an open gap when I would close it. Honestly, the cost per wear on that thing was probably less than 1 cent, so I was okay to throw it out. I paid a very tiny premium on it to get a personal shopper to purchase it from a factory outlet when it was just becoming discontinued. Well worth it though.

To replace it, I decided to get the small black Neo and it was 30% off, and funnily enough, way cheaper than the cost of the Planetes. So paying for the replacement bag was a no brainer. I also made a recent purchase of a beige felt bag organiser on eBay to give it structure and be able to easily find my things.

Then a short while later after Longchamp, I decided to bite the bullet and purchase the Coach Parker Top Handle, also on sale for 30% off. I've drooled over this bag for so long! I was a bit worried that it would be a bit too similar to my K28, but now think they are different enough aesthetically to justify. Plus it's nice having a bag with the initial of your first name!

During this shopping trip, I was carrying my Polene Numero Un and realised that today was a contemporary designer day and thought how undervalued some of these brands and styles are. I also realised that as a result of today, I'm currently at purse peace based on my contemporary and high end collections. :heart:
