~* My Vintage Chanel *~
Ok, all you men out there... I know some of you read my blog but feel free to pass on this post.
For no man will ever understand the passion with which a woman can love her handbag.
My black beauty has a few battle scars left from those who haven't treated her with love and care but hey, so do I...
My vintage dealer offered to change the metal chain as it's a little faded but I actually prefer it this way. Flaws and all.
I have a little tip for you... Vintage is totally underappreciated in Cannes where all things blingy, shiny and new are in, whereas in cities like Paris it's very sought after. Therefore, you can find real treasures in the South for a fraction of what you'd end up paying in Paris.
My favorite boutique owners in Cannes have even studied my little blog to understand my style and to have things to match it in store when they know I'm coming - if I don't call them in advance they actually send those treasures to Paris.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a huge-budget buyer. But we share a love for all things old and beautiful that makes business a real pleasure.
Sometimes I even think that Eric and Fabio - owners of the best vintage boutique in Cannes - are almost as happy as I am when they find me just that perfect little piece that I've been searching for during years and years...
Now they're on the lookout for a perfect beaded 20's charleston dress...♥.
