A book full of vintage glory
This book is wonderful for anyone who loves or collects vintage accessories. It is easy to read, organised into sections such as handbags, shoes, jewellery etc, and has lots of wonderful photographs of examples of accessories. I love the fact that it gives examples of key brands to look out for, and also issues to look out for when buying - eg checking zips and fastenings.The book is simply beautiful and would work well as a coffee table tome, especially if you were collecting the whole series.

Simply what it claims to be
My girlfriend wanted this for Christmas, so it was a guaranteed winner. It looks to be a simply laid out guide to stylish items you may look for in vintage shops and fairs, certainly more of a guide than a valuation catalogue.

Good coffee table books
I saw this series of books at an extortionate price in a trendy shop and really liked the look and feel of them, I wasn't disappointed they are interesting and nice to look at

Not in tune with the rest of the series
This is a bit different from the rest of the series in that it seems to be more of a collector's guide than a 'lookbook'. I find the other books (hair, makeup and clothes) very useful for both fancy dress costumer and retro styling in street clothes but I feel that I will use this one less. It doesn't give me what I need, for example, to get a period style repro bag to finish an outfit inspired by a particular decade. That said the pictures are great and there appears to be a lot of content. It just feels like part of a different series.
