I’ll admit, I’m not a great vintage or used-clothing shopper; I never seem to find the gems. But I do enjoy the look and the idea of buying pre-loved items as opposed to new ones.

I’ve already mentioned a lot of designers who are working with recycled leather to create new handbags, but haven’t addressed much the designers who are taking vintage pieces as-is and adding something to make them even more special. Enter Vivien Cheng. Vivien selects vintage clutches & handbags and hand paints them, bringing new life and connecting the past & present:
