Where Do You Get Your Vintage Purses From?

[twocents]

Just wondering where everyone else gets their vintage purses from. Every season I see more and more vintage purses and honestly, I think they are only going to get more popular.

I have bought a couple from online stores but am looking for more options. Anyone willing to share where they find their vintage purses?

There is a flea market over here where I live and they sell vintage purses for nice prices. Hecka cheap!

I tried looking at flea markets and stuff locally, but found that most of the time people would just drag up old nasty bags and try to resell them for inflated prices because they slapped the word vintage on them.

I usually go to flea markets as well. I think that you have to be picky about what you buy or where you go. I have had my share of horrible flea markets who tried to sellworn down bags but at the same time I have bought nice bags that were used, just be choosey.

I don't think I could handle a used purse anyway, esp "old nasty bags!"

Yeah, nasty old bags are definitely a pass. But sometimes you find someone who emptied out their closet after fifty years and half of the stuff is still new and unused.

Just think about all the closet clothes and bags you have, you know that stuff you buy for your closet because it never makes it out.

LOL - stuff you buyu for your closet!

My mom buys me stuff for my closet. I try to be very careful. I

I'm all about reuse, but something about using a used purse bugs me.
