Hope you have a good read (if you can read Chinese), >> Shop at CAROLE FORÊT VINTAGE —————————————————————————————- 久別了Queeneco , 卻從末忘掉上次承諾過介紹如何買古著。其實剛去了巴黎跟比利時再度尋找vintage, 收獲豐富好玩；但同行男友便卻被我逼瘋了，因一起逛街時，常常要忍受我上一秒還在嘰嘰喳喳，下一秒被古著店吸引而消失了。Anyway ，這篇遲來了，實在不好意思! <如何買古著> 很 多人因買古著似大海撈針，想買件啱心水又啱身太難；或一般沒處理過的古著往往帶點unfriendly 的異味，又或者老是感覺不合時而嚇跑了。其實最近幾季各大品牌發表的系列作品就像一連串對往日時光致敬的大秀: tux西裝、oversize外套、lace、長裙、高腰剪裁等。 這些最 ”潮”的設計元素，在古著中可輕易發現！ • 一定要到有質量的古著店去 何謂有質量？Vintage 應是true … Read more
