Guilty pleasure: Les Lucioles' vintage bags

You might remember Les Lucioles’ fashionable but hard to find store at the former abattoir-cum-mall 1933. Thankfully they've just moved their fabulous boutique downtown, and, sadly for our wallet, just down the block from the CNNGo office.

Les Lucioles didn’t forget a thing, making sure all their unique women’s clothes and accessories made it to the new Jinxian Lu store. However, the items that caught our eye most were Les Lucioles' new vintage bags.

Owners Sandra and Nathalie told us they picked up these vintage leather bags during their last trip to Paris. Not accepting that it’s enough to sell sweet Parisian vintage goods, they brought in Sichuan-born, locally based designer Mora Wong to add a modern Shanghai touch to the purses. 

Going for a hefty RMB 2,200 these bags are expensive, but considering how fast they're selling it looks like local shoppers know a good vintage deal when they see one.
