    I went to a vintage fair on Saturday and saw the most beautiful croc skin handbag. It was a 1930s original, amazingly crafted and a joy to look at. At £50 it was a bit too much for me a week before pay day but I wondered if, had it been the day after pay day, I'd have bought it.

    So, what do you all think about buying fur or animal skins second hand? I have always been staunchly anti-fur, but I was thrown by this bag! Does even a vintage buy show support for a cruel and unnecessary industry, or is it more like buying a piece of history from a time when such issues were unconcerning?

    I don't agree with killing to make new items but why let the old ones goto waste? It isn't going to bring them back to life again

    I also don't like being told what not to wear by people either.
