Vintage Find of the Week: Moschino Starfish Belt

Moschino Vintage Starfish Belt
Jeremy Scott has done wonders to revive the Moschino name and catapult it back into the forefront of popular culture, and he has done so successfully, however the Moschino name has always been known for its cheeky designs. Completely different than the classic belt designs we see now, this Moschino giant starfish belt, made in Italy, was definitely a hot item in the '90s. Worn with an off-the-shoulder tight body con dress, you'd be a hit at any high profile Miami party with this around your waist.

Available for $850 by Decades Inc here.

Vintage Find of the Week: Chanel Black & White Quilted Patent Leather Bag

The number one item on any vintage collectors list? It can only be the Holy Grail of vintage finds: a quilted Chanel. New ones may be easier to come by however, the price they carry may not be right. This is where hunting one down in a vintage shop that can be trusted is a huge find.

I've spotted a Chanel bag that is not only a rare find but it is absolutely unique in colour and texture and going for a great price: originally priced at $1,900 but currently listed at $1,600. Add it to your collection here.
