Vintage retro Enid Collins purses and handbags
Who is Enid Collins?
For girls who grew up in the 1950s and 1960s, bags designed by Enid Collins were the 'must-have' item. Every girl or woman who had the means would rush out to acquire one of these lovely handbags.

Vintage aprons -- practical and collectible
An apron for every housewife
Aprons are the quintessential mark of the homemaker. No housewife worth her salt would have been without a sturdy apron to protect her clothes as she performed her daily chores.
