Holding Your Own

Nikita-Lynn Handbags

You’ll take old soul, old school, and even oldie but goodie any day. But just plain old?

Let’s hope you don’t run into that anytime soon.

Nikita-Lynn neo-vintage purses can help ensure you won’t.

Designers Nikita Masters and Alin Anuar created a line of delicate, detailed handbags full of retro bells and whistles (wristlets and clutches finished with Thai silk, lace, and stone beads offer all the street cred of 1930s thrift store finds) with craftsmanship (applique beading, reinforced handles, and layered satin lining) that ensures they’ll stand the test of time. (And, even better, your haphazard take on accessory storage after a “youthful” night out.)

Much more than just pretty for the moment, these bags are built to last.

Old bag? No way. 

Available at Sabra Gallery, 465b Flat Shoals Avenue, East Atlanta (404-588-9222).
