If you have checked Instagram anytime in the last couple of weeks you will have seen the re-emergence of the Dior Saddle Bag (in a somewhat controversial way- if you don’t know what I am taking about read this). As the saddle bag illustrates vintage styles are making a comeback and with vintage styles come lots of logos.
While certain logo prints (like the LV monogram or the Goyard print) have never really gone out of style, other brands monograms definitely have- see the Dior trotter print and the Fendi Zucca print. But luckily what goes around comes around and these logos are back and better then ever. But with the reemergence of these logos comes the decidedly not so vintage price tag. In typically #bargainhuntingblonde fashion I want the look without all the extra zeros tacked on to the price. Below are my favorite vintage picks that get the look but avoid the super expensive price.

Worried about authenticity when buying preloved? Don’t be! There are some great sites that can help you with authenticating your bag (or really anything designer- clothes, shoes and accessories!). I have used and loved both Real Authentication and Authenticate First. Don’t want to do your own authenticating? Check out The Real Real or Fashionphile which list the items before even putting them on their websites!
