Reworked Vintage Accessories by Shara Porter

Sharaporter

With vintage shopping it can be a challenge to find good quality and great looks in one place, without endless hours of trawling through rails. If you're into vintage craftsmanship with a quirky twist, the hand reworked accessories from Shara Porter might just be the answer.

With the tagline 'Hand Printed Fine Found Objects', the mission statement is self explanatory. Porter has an eye for a great bag, and adds her own twist in a subtle and retro-flavoured fashion too. Each bag is a one off, allowing for much of the appeal of vintage to stay intact, while the added prints can often spruce up accessories that were once nothing more than ordinary.

Olibowshoes

Dolly shoes are a great go to choice for almost any mid 20th century outfit, with perennial style that doesn't seem to be going out of style any time soon. This pair of Bow Dolly Shoes by Poetic Licence have a classic but cutesy style that's truly versatile too.

The lower heel height allows this shoe to work for day or night time, evoking a fifties style dance shoe style. The t-bar fastening ties in with that look, while a spot print and kitschy bow give a retro appeal that can span well into 1960s looks too.

They're available from Oli online now for £60.
