A New Vantage Point
So you think you want an “It” bag? While the prestige alone may be worth the impact on your AmEx, consider the unexpected. Just because it doesn’t come with its own bag or boast the initials of some French guy named Louis, a luxury vintage bag is more forward-thinking than a thing of the past. It just so happens that what’s old is new again, and there’s only one place in town that specializes in chic retro carriers. Appropriately located inside the 14th Street Antique Market, PerSé has been providing in-the-know Atlantans with a constantly changing supply of hand-picked vintage bags for two years now. From the leather satchels of the ’30s to the mod shapes and patent leathers that defined the ’60s, each bag retains its intended appearance, right down to the interior stiching. Brain child of artist Christina Butler, who avows, “Handbags are like chocolate without the calories,” PerSé is not revolutionizing our want, nee, have to have for Hervé Chapelier-it’s simply giving us fashion girls a new outlet to be...original.
