• Security - Relax knowing your valuables are safe in a bag that zips or buckles closed to thwart sticky fingers.

How to Find Your Perfect Bag

Searching for the perfect handbag can feel like an epic quest to find "the one" - that bag that speaks to your heart and fulfills your every need. With so many options on the market, where do you start? Don't worry - we're here to help you narrow down the search and find your ideal purse partner.

Size

When seeking your vintage-inspired vegan leather soulmate, first consider size and make sure she's a good fit. Look for a bag sized right to neatly carry your daily essentials without excess bulk weighing you down. A bag that's too small will leave you juggling items and wishing for more room. But go too big, and you could get lost in a cavernous tote.

Comfort

Next, think about comfort with the straps. Seek out smooth, sturdy straps that allow multiple wearing options - handheld, over the shoulder or crossbody style. Comfortable straps distribute weight evenly and provide versatility to transition your bag from day to night events.

Organization

Organization is key for keeping your relationship tidy and stress-free. Seek out a bag with plenty of pockets, compartments and zippered closures to keep your items neatly organized and easily accessible, with no more frantically digging around for your keys!

Security

For security, opt for bags that close securely with sturdy zippers, flaps or snaps to protect your valuables inside. You want a bag that closes up tightly like a vault to give you peace of mind in crowds.

Style

Of course, style matters too in finding your perfect partner. Look for chic silhouettes, fun colors and patterns that reflect your personal taste. The right bag should complement your wardrobe and be an extension of your own fabulous flair!

Q&A

Q1: What is the difference between antique and vintage-style handbags?

The key difference is that antique handbags are 100+ years old and made during their period of origin, while vintage-style bags are newly made but designed to look like original vintage pieces from past decades. Antique bags have artistic and historical value for their age, while the vintage style seeks to capture old-fashioned charm and nostalgia in new bags.

Q2: Are vintage-style bags an investment?

Yes, vintage-inspired vegan leather bags are built to last, and their unique retro charm doesn't go out of style. When well-cared for, they become better with age, making them a wise fashion investment.

Q3: Can vintage vegan leather be ruined by rain?

Vintage vegan leather has a protective coating that makes it water-resistant. However, prolonged exposure to rain or moisture can damage the bag. It's best to spray it with waterproofing spray and avoid heavy rain.

Q4: How can you tell cheap vegan leather?

Cheap vegan leather looks overly shiny, feels thin and plasticky, and lacks realistic grain patterning. High-quality vegan leather has a subtle sheen, thick durable feel, and embossed detailing to mimic genuine leather.

Q5: How many years does a vegan leather bag last?

With proper care, a good quality vegan leather bag can last for many years. Bags made from durable vegan leather materials and quality construction can easily last 1-3 years or longer with proper care and storage. Storing the bag filled with tissue paper when not in use helps it retain its shape and prevents cracking. Investing in a well-made vegan leather bag and caring for it properly makes it a piece that can stay in style for years to come.

Q6: What jewelry should I wear with a vintage-style vegan leather handbag?

Vintage-inspired jewelry like strands of pearls, rhinestone brooches, carved cameos, or chunky bakelite bangles pairs seamlessly with the retro charm of these bags. Dainty gold jewelry also complements the vintage look beautifully. Stacking petite bracelets and layering necklaces in varying lengths creates a glamorously nostalgic vibe.

Q7: What shoes work best with vintage-looking handbags?

Timeless silhouettes like block-heeled Oxfords, dainty Mary Janes, elegant T-straps, chic loafers, and ankle strap pumps complement vintage-inspired bags perfectly. Choose classic styles in supple leathers or rich suedes over ultra-modern stilettos. Grounded neutral and tan earth tones keep the look grounded in refined, nostalgic elegance. The vintage bags paired with elegant, vintage-inspired shoes create an effortlessly stylish retro look from head to toe.
