Well, it’s back-to-school time. And I associate back-to-school with…handbag shopping!

When I was a young school girl, I was allowed to pick out a new handbag every school year. And I can remember how hard the choice would be! First, I’d go window shopping, scoping out the latest styles. Then I’d have to narrow my choices because even though I had champagne taste I was working on a juicebox budget!

Of course, in those days, vintage items weren’t yet on my radar (unlike many young tweens and teens today). And while today’s VPOD would have definitely been outside my price range, it is certainly in reach for a modern Gossip Girl or a future-thinking college fashionista who can see its value for the next four years and then some.

Of course, it’s hard to resist a vintage Gucci saddle bag any day of the week, but this special version is even more irresistible because it’s all dolled up with vibrant plaid and promises only good fortune with its horseshoe hardware.

What a school girl dream for a vintage fashionista!

Available at Unique Boutique NYC.
