A vintage bag is often made with materials and techniques you see less of today: sturdy leather, strong stitching and metal fastenings. A bag like that already has a story and, with the right care, can last for many more years. At Rumors Vintage & Design we hand-pick every bag and check its condition and details.
Vintage bags reflect their time. A sturdy doctor's bag or frame bag, a 70s shoulder bag with a flap, an 80s envelope clutch or a small 90s and Y2K baguette bag: every style has its own character. What's online right now is shown above. Bags from well-known fashion houses can also be found in designer vintage.
You can recognise a good bag by its details. Look for even stitching, neatly finished edges, solid metal hardware and a lining that is still firmly attached. For every bag we list the dimensions and describe the condition, including any signs of wear.
Store a leather bag stuffed with paper so it keeps its shape, ideally in a cloth dust bag. Keep it out of direct sunlight and treat the leather now and then with a suitable conditioner.
Let a bag set the tone: a brightly coloured clutch livens up a black dress from women's vintage, while a leather shoulder bag suits a trench coat or a jacket from men's vintage. Pick jewelry in the same metal tone as the hardware; find more in vintage accessories.
A shoulder bag is practical for every day, a handbag gives an outfit a polished touch and a clutch is made for the evening. When choosing, look at the dimensions, the length of the strap and the number of compartments, so the bag suits the way you will use it.
Besides smooth leather, vintage bags come in suede, patent leather, woven straw, embroidered fabric and beaded evening bags. Each material needs its own care: brush suede when dry, and wipe patent leather clean with a soft cloth.
