Is this something you enjoy doing? Whether for the positive environmental impact or the love of a good deal?  I'm thinking specifically of buying vintage clothing and accessories, but you can apply the label to anything, really. I'm very interested to get your thoughts on this! Tagging LaraQ |

You mean like thrift shop clothes? My gf is a thrift shop genius (actually I know several people who are).......and I buy sport coats there because you can find cool corduroy sport coats in thrift shops.......... and if you buy them new you will ridiculously overpay AND look like an asshole college professor You want to look like this but with faded jeans and boots and looking vaguely homicidal, and on obscene amounts of coffee with a 2-3 day growth of stubble.....oh and you should, if possible, sleep for one night in that same outfit Good luck to you   |

Tagging LaraQ I live on Vestiare Collective.You can get some incredible vintage clothes,bags,accessories etc there.The low environmental impact is a huge plus and you can find some really unique items .I don't know if it's available in the US, but there must be tons of equivalent online stores.It's so worth buying vintage products,they make great investments too. |

I visit a second hand store near my house on a weekly basis (sometimes even more often) because you can really find some great items there. My bags collection owes a lot to that store  ●Salvatore Ferragamo ●Versace ●Prada ●Dolce e Gabbana ●Moschino (prime line) ●Valentino Garavani ●Tod's Just to name the most famous labels. There's a Gucci bag I'm observing in these days. |

I barely shop for clothes full stop. The only accessory I wear is a coloured rubber band on my wrist  |

I used to but now I mostly just buy my clothes at Costco. Occasionally find a vintage t-shirt or something on eBay though.

I like what I own, and I ain't growing any time soon Yeah I like what I own to the point where I keep clothes waaaaaay past when they should be thrown away or replaced, and I probably look homeless in my casual attire…. my clothes already look vintage! |

pacinoyes - Redford is such a great style icon to have! Mine is photographer Peter Beard.  LaraQ - Oh yes, we have access to Vestiaire Collective here! I ordered a Dries Van Noten blazer from there once. cherry68 - Vintage handbags really are the best... The quality was so much better and the prices are practically steals compared to what the brand new ones will cost you. I ordered my mom a vintage Tod's bag (from the 90s - the same version Princess Diana carried!) for her birthday this month. I know she will love it!

I decided to go ahead and gift it to her early - she definitely loves it! - and she's only been carrying it for a few days and has already gotten multiple compliments on it.  Vintage is the way to go.  |

A good thing about your mom's bag is the shoulder strap. My Tod's doesn't have it, and I don't like carrying it by hand :/ Mine is like this, but the color is butter instead of dark brown: fr.vestiairecollective.com/sacs-femme/sacs-a-main/tods/sac-a-main-tods-en-cuir-noir-25917668.shtml(For some reason, I'm unable to post my phone shots on MAR). |
