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.
