Are vintage leather bags still of good quality?
Yes, if well-selected. Look for supple leather, strong seams, and working clasps. These are the first signs of quality.
Do vintage bags smell?
They can, especially leather, but well-selected bags should not have a strong odor. At Flamingo Vintage, items are always checked for this.
What is more practical: a vintage shoulder bag or handbag?
It depends on how you want to use the bag.
- A shoulder bag is more practical and ideal for everyday use.
- A handbag is smaller and more of a style statement.
Are vintage bags sustainable?
Yes, but that's not the main reason to choose them. The real value lies in quality, style, and how often you wear the bag.
