Thrifting Fashion Encyclopedia, Charlotte Reid, Manga pendant and Kosta Boda

 



First thing I noticed on the bag rack was color. This is such a beautiful green and then I looked at the condition and quality of the bag. All the metal hardware is flawless, the handles hardware rings have Charlotte Reid London engraved to them, all zippers are functioning and textile inside is flawless. This bag looks brand new to me.

Here is info and other handbags I found online:








I was charmed by this Manga girl pendant. This girl holds Teddy Bear in her hands and she herself has animal eared headpiece and cute dress with  big bow on the back. Also cat head slippers that she wears adds to the cuteness.

So Kawaii ! I adore her!

I believe she is available on www.Temu.com









I am not 100% if it is Kosta Boda plate or not because this glass plate have grapes and vine leaves pressed on the glass. But when I look around internet...other plates don't have vine leaves.

But I found this to be good thick glass and cant complain about quality, so I picked it up. I would like to collect set of 6 of these.

Thrifting Banksy, jewelry, Hilfiger, diffuser, Masai Copenhagen

  I had "guns blazing"  fun with thrifting last week.  This Tommy Hilfiger pouch bag fits under arm perfectly and is brand new. Does not seem to be never warn. I can see how this design is influenced by Louis Vuitton. Textile with initials but then having Hilfigers iconic blue and red stripe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Hilfiger   These are two costume jewelry pieces that I picked up. The earrings are interesting to me because these are like very thin mesh tubes that have tiny crystals in them. The ring is no doubt a statement piece. I think its the largest ring I ever had. This Banksy's street art depiction was fun find. What makes it extra interesting is that it is print on the glass not paper. In my opinion it brings it to high quality level. The frame works so well too with it. If I am not mistaken it us by this company: https://artdesigna.co.uk/collections/banksy?srsltid=AfmBOoq87xvnEg0hTFx2oSGZ5K7P0KKfTiejFdm1WVP9zpmkiTyPVWXD Panda with Guns originally ...

Last week thrifting finds

  This is a compilation of items I picked last week from different charity shops.  One thing I always looking out and picking from charity shops is colored tights . Why pay about 8 EUR in department store when you get them from charity for 2EUR. For me they are perfect to make any outfit more interesting. Look at that color and pattern. Its fabulous. Wonderful oversized pottery mug or bowl. It is not signed and it is heavy to lift. I think it is someone's handmade project. That is what I like about it. I served a salad from it and it brought instant artsiness to the table. Bonus is its lime green inside and dark green outside glaze. Then I found these Casa Decor drawer knobs . Very good quality. Currently I have bed side tables with boring wooden knobs. I  think I need to do a makeover, to paint my side tables with new exciting color and use these knobs. I think knobs require darker color to make them pop.  Searched them up from internet. Quality Indian home decor. ...
