What was Old is New Again

In the 1970s it was leather jackets and torn jeans, in the 1980s it was short skirts over leggings, lace gloves and lycra, (alas I have much photgraphic evidence of this :()and in the 1990s it was croptops and corduroy.


The fashions of past decades provide haunting memories and flashbacks to some, but are a source of inspiration to others.

Retro fashion is the art of dressing as if you had stepped back to a certain moment in time; it is an attempt to capture the essence and mood of a period.

Retro fashion has never been easier to pull off.

Add some well chosen accessories and you can achieve that retro feel without looking like you are heading off to a bad taste party :)

Check out some of bragbags' retro inspired handbags and eco-friendly jewellery for an easy way to step back in time.
