VPOD: Vintage 1960s Lederer Alligator Handbag

Mary Kincaid — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 14:56:30 +0000

What’s living at the bottom of YOUR handbag?

Today’s LA Times reports that a Georgia woman recently decided to clean out her purse and discovered an old lottery ticket worth $189,302 hiding out down there!

And while I can’t promise that cleaning out your own handbag would be as exciting as this, I can promise that taking five minutes today to remove all the old receipts, gum wrappers, and other detritus will give you a small sense of accomplishment and a big boost of organization.

In fact, it just might motivate you to hit the trunk of your car, the pantry and yes, even your closet, as it kicks off a Spring Cleaning frenzy.

Of course, it’s a lot easier to keep clutter under control when you limit the size of your bag from the get-go. So take a look at today’s VPOD.

What this vintage 1960s alligator handbag by Lederer lacks in size it makes up with a huge boost of classic style.

It’s a winning find all its own for a vintage fashionista!

Available at Shelli’s Treasures. | Discovered at TheFind.com.

VPOD: Authentic Alligator

Mary Kincaid — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 14:59:00 +0000

Let’s face it, we all have different budgets. What’s inexpensive for one person is three months take-home pay for someone else. Sometimes, when it comes to fashion, you have to remind your wallet to think like Goldilocks. When searching for a vintage treat, it’s important to find an object you love at a price that’s not too cheap, not too expensive, but “just right” for you. Fortunately, there are options for every price range.

Today’s VPOD features three gorgeous vintage alligator handbags carring price tags from $250 to $995. They all have classic shapes, are in great condition and would look smashing with so many of your fall outfits. But regardless of what you decide to invest, you’ll want to care for your bag properly so it will survive another decade or two. Here are some tips:

*Store your bag in a cool, dry place.
*Avoid water, heat and direct sunlight.
*If your bag becomes wet, wipe it gently with a soft, dry absorbent cloth and then let it dry naturally.
*Never use household chemicals or solvents to clean your bag. Instead, be sure to use an alligator recommended leather conditioner to replace the natural oils that will disappear over time.

Whichever bag you choose, it’s guaranteed to be a timeless find for a vintage fashionista!

Available at That Purse Place.

VPOD: Later Alligator

Mary Kincaid — Mon, 21 May 2007 14:50:00 +0000

Both alligator and crocodile are considered to be high quality leathers and carry high prices. So how do you tell them apart and more importantly, how do you know a bag is authentic? Unfortunately, you can find bags with inside markings that say “alligator” that are actually crocodile and a bag marked “croc” could actually be alligator. What’s a vintage fashionista to do? Get educated here.

Then you’ll fully appreciate the years of care and the outstanding workmanship of this hornback alligator bag from the 1900s. Someone lovingly cared for this bag over the years as the skins are still supple and glistening. And what amazing texture!

It’s a classic and collectible find for a vintage fashionista!

Available at Vintage Bag.
