Windowlicker
Today's obscure object of desire comes courtesy of a tip from my mother: Kim White handbags, "designed from vintage automotive fabrics." Pretty hot! This clutch is clutch.
[Special Edition Blue Cut-Out Clutch, "Intended for use in a 1983 Camaro." $225]
Windowlicker - from the French for window shopping: faire du lèche-vitrine - appears on Tuesday and Thursdays at 10am EST-ish.
That Camaro style is no joke! My older sister's best friend, Lynn, was the only daughter of two steelworkers in east Baltimore. For her 16th birthday in 1982, they gave her a brand new yellow Camaro. I still remember the sight of her, with straight, center parted black hair, stepping out of the car, in her Catholic high school uniform, with Led Zepplin blasting, and thinking, "well, she has just about achieved it all."
