New in! Stunning 1960s travel case.
I’m pretty sure that when this travel case was carefully handmade by the good folk of Morton Leather Products in London, England they imagined it would be whisked off on many a glamorous and fun voyage. Looking at the tip top condition it’s in today I unfortunately doubt that this handsome case which is beautifully lined in a dramatic hot pink satin has ever been used at all! It still has it’s keys clipped to the inside corner and it’s elasticated pouches and zip pockets have never seen a single garment or accessory. Therefore good people of Thrift-ola land I am looking to YOU to fulfill the dreams of this rather lovely case and when you’re not traveling it will of course display a treat in your boudoir!
Take a peek and fall in love with it even more in my online shoppe. Click here!

Just In! Vintage Felt Hats
Posted on: December 6, 2012Keep your noggin warm and stylish in a jewel pop vintage felt hat this Winter! Continue reading »
A lovely collection of pristine vintage felt hats!
I had an exciting find yesterday upon opening a discarded hat box I discovered a collection of five felt hats each in a different beautiful jewel pop colour and all in absolute mint condition. I doubt they’ve ever been worn. They must have belonged to the same lady as they are all exactly the same size except the claret one which is a tad smaller. If you fancy adding a dash of colour and panache to your Winter look then your noggin needs to be a tad smaller than mine and measure 55cm at the point in which you want the hat to sit on your head. If you’re a lucky fit you can choose from emerald green, claret, mustard, midnight blue and violet. If you buy a few then I’ll throw in the fancy boutique hat box!
