Welcome to my little shop where you can find unique and one of a kind vintage leather bags, belts and accessories. You can also shop amazing vintage dresses, retro tops and skirts! BlastFromThePastBags is the right place for you if you love high-quality vintage clothing and accessories that never go out of date and still look chic. It is the right place for you if you don't like spending money on fast fashion that changes the next season. It is the right place for you if you don't want to change your entire closet every year. It is the right place for you if you want to have trendy pieces that time has proven to last. It is the right place for you if you love to look like an eternal fashion icon at all times. It is the place for you if you love to enjoy and bring new life to vintage pieces. Last but not least it is the right place for you if you love to have fun, express yourself and inspire people around you.
My husband and I truly believe that each of our vintage pieces carries a message. Each bag or purse, belt or waist cincher, each pair of shoes or sandals has a story to tell. Each vintage piece will help you express your true self and inspire others.
In my shop you will find one of a kind accessories - bags, purses, belts and waist cinchers, shoes and sandals, skirts and tops. BlastFromThePastBags is a small family owned business. All of my items are personally handpicked by me or my husband from vintage and thrift shops and from my mom and my grandma's closets. My vintage bags, shoes, belts and accessories date back to the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. In my little vintage boutique you will find vintage leather bags, satchels, totes, shoulder and hand bags, doctors bags, Kelly style purses, canvas shopping bags, sisal beach baskets, small evening clutches and more. You will also find unique accessories - belts, shoes, scarves, skirts, dresses, tops, jackets and many more!
This is a place where you can enjoy, and bring new life to unique vintage bags! Our bags are the keepers of all those most important things that we need every day. I would like to think of the bags as not just as accessories, but creatures that we can bring life to. We use them every day, they help us organize our stuff, they takes us through each day. The bags made us happy, they bring joy and positivity. They help us be who we truly are!
Vintage bags and antique purses deserve to be with us today. They have traveled through decades to reach us today. They have been stored in attics, garages, basements and some have managed to survive until today. Some purses have been passed through generations, almost like heritage - from mother to daughter.
I am one of those girls. I truly love everything vintage, everything that has a story to tell. I used to watch my mom dress when I was little. I admired her stylish clothes, shoes and bags. I wanted to have them that very moment, as I was watching her starring at the mirror. I wanted to be a grown up, so I can wear the same clothes as her. It was very much the same when I was staying at my grandma's during the holidays. I have always fell for old-fashioned clothes and accessories. I just love them! I love the thought of having something special, something that noone else has, something unique, something that you can really find today.
Welcome to my world!
Warm regards,
Dobi

5 out of 5 starsI was a wee bit, disappointed in this item. The color depicted in the photograph was much more subtle. This purse is very bright. Although the lining is nice and intact, for the price, the elastic pocket inside is worn out. I will still keep it in incorporated into my wardrobe because it is a pretty piece.
Dobromira responded on May 10, 2024
Hi Patty, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. And thank you sharing that the color appears more subtle in the photos and brighter in reality. I do my best to capture each item as accurate as possible, and I try to represent the color, size and texture so the buyer can get an idea of how each vintage item would look in person. Yet sometimes colors may appear a shade lighter or darker depending on the background, light and settings. I am glad that you will still be able to incorporate the purse into your wardrobe. Just in case you decide to return it, you can do so within 30 days of delivery for a full refund. Thank you for your valuable feedback. Sincerely, Dobi

If you are presenting the item as a gift for special occasion, just let me know and I can use special gift wrapping paper that corresponds to the theme - Birthday, Christmas, or any other occasion :)
Are there any specific care instructions for my leather bag/belt?
Most of the vintage bags, purses, shoes, sandals, boots and belts in my shop are made of genuine leather. Leather goods are usually very easy to care for and will last you for a very long time if you take proper care of them.
*Every other day, give your item a quick sweep with a soft dry cloth.
*Every 3-4 weeks condition the leather apply special leather conditioner/ polish on a soft cloth and gentry rub the surface. Test it out on small surface first, as some leather items may slightly change their color depending on the polish/ conditioner you use.
*To preserve the shape of your bag, fill it with stuffing when you are not using it, to ensure that it stays in shape.
Are there any specific care instructions for my vintage shirt/ skirt/ dress/ scarf?
I carefully hand wash all of my vintage items, so they are ready to wear as soon as you receive them. Some of my vintage items have care instructions marked on the label. For the ones that do not have care instructions, I would recommend to wash them by hand or machine wash them using a gently cycle and warm water and wash them with similar colors.
Do you accept custom or personalized orders?
All the items in my shop are vintage and they are one of a kind. Most of my items are from the 70s, 80s and 90s. Due to the nature of the items in my shop, I am unable to accept custom or personalized orders. However if you are looking for something special, let me know and I will be happy to get in touch if I get my hands on something similar :)
If I am not satisfied with the vintage item I have ordered, will I be able to return it?
Yes. If for any reason you the item that you have ordered for not feel quite right to you, or you have simply changed your mind, feel free to contact me within 14 days after you have received your package. I will provide you with a return address, so you can ship your vintage bag, belt, shoes, shirt, dress, skirt or scarf back. I will organize a refund for you once the item arrives back. The shipping charges are non-refundable.
