Swinging Sixties

Sixties sleek chic is on the agenda again this Spring. Of course, there will be loads of fresh, new designs to choose from, but it’s always fun to add the occasional piece of vintage to a contemporary look. That said, if you’re like me, the prospect of trawling a thousand thrift shops in search of the one decent piece (if you’re lucky) is a non-starter. That’s why Candy Says is such a treasure trove. This groovy, genuine 1960s bag is just one of the squillions of vintage pieces they have on offer. Don’t worry, this is no garage-sale. This old girl is a MacLaren navy blue vinyl and patent handbag. She’s unused and has the original swing tag still attached! For just £24 it’s a no-brainer. Visit the site at your peril though. It’s addictive. [Sharon Edge]
