  7. Pick an absolute favorite, where do i even begin! The vintage Salvatore Ferragamo loafers definitely reach the top of my list; classy, classic, versatile and cute! I’m also lusting over the ‘full’ skirts that are spread out throughout the 9 pages of quality goods. Items that i can’t wait for though? They’d have to be the black leather vintage Dooney and Bourke purse, and the 1970s coat vintage leather trench. Both leather items that have clearly aged gracefully, and staple/accents that i want i my closet!
