Vanity Friday
This website is going to be the death of me.
Just take this bag, for example. I.just.can’t. And you know what makes them truly terrible? That they are located very near where I live, and their online sales method is developed to make people like me fall into temptation: those of us who are local to the store can “shop” an item, add it to an account and then go check it at the store the next day, if you don’t like it, it goes back to inventory and you are not obliged to buy it. I have yet to see one item that is either not impeccably preserved (which for vintage stuff is really difficult) or that differs from what is presented in the photos.
Probably I should add their URL to some blocking software so that I do not have to drool over their new arrivals regularly.
For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you. Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
