new? old? what about ‘new-old’?!
July 17th, 2008
the term “new old” refers to OLD items that were never used and still in original packaging or original, unused state as they were when they were first made way back whenever. Using new-old is like the best of both worlds really! You get a charming vintage item and a brand new one all in one! Lest i mention your re-purposing something old (green!!!) and vintage anything has a unique, one-of-a-kind quality to it (even though it may not actually be). Lots of designers are using NEW OLD, for example BUZZ BUZZ DESIGNS, which I carry in my store, Room Service, uses a lot of new-old items in her jewelry.
These incredible clutches designed by a NYC designer (by way of Cleveland) are using some new/old fabrics and couldn’t feel more current to me! They range in price- only $49 - $59 each they are a perfect functional accessory!
