This first bag is one i bought a few months ago at the Salvos near my uni. It cost a grand total of $5 at a spectacular Salvos 50% off sale. Almost ridiculous that Salvos has sales when the items are so very cheap to begin with. Ah well, doesn't bother me ;) The bag isn't anything particularly special, but it is sweet and goes rather well with the blue and white dress i bought a few months ago.
The next 3 bags were discovered at a gorgeous Vintage Fair at Cantebury. The first is a carpet bag with a silver bobble clasp. I found it so charming and for $25 it was a bargain. The second is black velvet with a black ribbon along the front and a square diamante button. It's such a perfect evening bag, small and solid and cost $10! The last bag is a gold glomesh bag which i bought for my best friend Alice, but have decided i am too attached to part with it. It has a long strap and short strap, very convenient, and cost $26.
After a day of admiring vintage bags, clothes and jewelry, i decided to scout the internet for some lovely pieces. I must say glomesh bags are such lovely things and i always admire them on other people. After a thorough look on eBay i found this incredible bargain. 6 glomesh bags for about $25, give or take. This collection contains the most popular glomesh colors: white, cream, gold and silver. I don't think i can resist this purchase, but luckily i have 6 days to think about it before a decision is made. Perhaps one will be for Alice, as she really does want a glomesh bag and i feel so awful about keeping the one i bought for her.
This last bag is something rare and wonderful. It is fairly easy to get your hands on any of the above glomesh bags, the colors are rather common. Pink and mauve, however, are not common at all. There is the lovely pale pink matt glomesh, or the gorgeous metallic mauve glomesh. I have found one for $35 including postage. Take a look and you too will fall in love.
