This page brings the best designer vintage finds from around the world to Perth. It is the culmination of years of collecting vintage bags and learning the art of discerning good sellers and beautiful bags from the too-common dupes.

The $50 Challenge
1. Yves Saint Laurent silk scarf ($50, Ends 14 July 2012), 2. Coach large leather messenger bag ($49, Ends 2 June 2012), 3. Marc by Marc Jacobs spyglass necklace ($35, Ends 1 July 2012), 4. Yves Saint Laurent leather belt ($38, Ends 11 July 2012).
Four of my favourites from the shoestring-chic brief. First up, a perfect Yves Saint Laurent silk scarf in navy with a red geometric print and hand-rolled edges measuring 45 x 45cm. Then, the vintage black leather messenger bag by Coach which made it onto this list because it has been re-released by Coach as of late with a slew of other vintage Coach favourites in the 'Coach Classics' collection. It is now called the 'Court Bag' and although this guy is really in need of conditioning, it is the original and a fraction of the price of the re-make. Next up, the Marc by Marc Jacobs spyglass necklace (not so vintage) which was released as one of the label's 'Special Items', a collection of funky urban costume jewellery and knick-knacks that come at a fraction of the usual cost (bless him). The length is variable, up to 60cm. Finally, the Yves Saint Laurent white leather belt, perfect for acid wash or white ankle jeans, size 38 (roughly an Australian 10, but I keep a leather punch at hand for anyone smaller).
