VIVO... BLOG!
Ever since there were just three of us at Vivo Vintage, our follower count hovered around 10, and our bags shipped in Dixan boxes, we’ve dreamed of having a BLOG!
It took us almost a decade to get around to it (a good reason to follow us: give us some encouragement), but finally: HERE IT IS! Since we’re a little group of quirky, diverse personalities, here are a few “tips for use” before we get started:
1- FIRST RULE: NO RULES. We’re the Fight Club of handbags.
Whether you’re as elegant as Cinzia, as slender as Simona, or as petite as Manu, we’ll help you choose the bag YOU LIKE, not the one that SUITS YOU. Before we mix and match your “dream carrier” with measurements, color palettes, and outfits, we believe it should match your heart.
2- WE LIKE MORTADELLA SANDWICHES. Translation: we don’t speak “fashion.”
There will be times when Angelo won’t be able to tell you what color a bag is, or will rename this fantastic, impossible-to-find Louis Vuitton as “PApincourt” (poor Popincourt)
But rest assured that before showing it to you, he’ll have thoroughly examined its pros, cons, and every last detail. If you want to make him happy, still ask him for detailed photos of Campomaggi and The Bridge ... he’s learned to get excited about a Gucci Marmont
3- WE CAN CONTRADICT OURSELVES
If you follow us on social media (and if you don’t, go fix that right now!!!), you already know that on the same day we post the It Bag from Paris Fashion Week and Aunt Gina’s bag.
It might seem contradictory, but as they say, “the heart has reasons that reason knows nothing of”: so we choose what we like over what’s fashionable, and love the Prada nappa tote just as much as the canvas briefcase
