What is you oldest item of clothing, handbags or shoes ?

Quite a few things in my wardrobe that are at least 30 years old. Shoes, handbags, dresses, skirts, tops. All still in good condition and very wearable. I find buying clothes now not only expensive but just never seem to find the styles or quality that match up to what I already have.

I don’t hang onto clothes but I do have boots from the 90,s that I bought in Glasgow on Boxing Day with money my mil gave me .Brown knee high leather with a plaited strip down the outside a 3 and a half inch heel and an almond shaped toe .
I do still wear them ….and brown is back in fashion.
The only other thing in my wardrobe that’s older than 4 years is my 51 year old wedding dress ,brought down from the attic for a gd to wear in a school play

I took these shorts on holiday to France when my son was 6/7 he’s 50 next week I still wear them in the garden and they fit better now than they did. A bit thin around the backside but still decent enough.

My oldest is a baby still compared to some of these!
It is a powder-blue autumn/spring- weight jacket bought from Matalan some time in the 1990s, I think. It has been through my washing machine many times and still looks to have plenty of life left in it.
Most importantly, I still really like it, and am not the least bit tempted to replace it!

A Shetland cardigan/jacket that OH bought me in 198? He lost his. I do find it a bit heavy to wear round the house.

Might need to get it out again the way the weather is going here in North Scotland.

I sleep in a cotton traders t-shirt which was purloined from my husband about 37 years ago. Few tiny holes appearing now but I’ll repair them. He’s in and out of hospital, so that t-shirt is a bit of a substitute 😁

I recently threw away some iridescent purple doctor martens that I'd had since my teens, so probably about 48 years old.
Something sharp had reared it's head inside them, but more was the fact that i found them just too heavy and it hurt my back, wearing them.

My mac that I bought in the early 1990’s.

A Laura Ashley cotton summer all-in-one I bought in around 1980. They are all the fashion this year and I dug it out and wore it during the recent heatwave.

A pair of shoes I bought in the early 1990s, and still wear regularly, I have uite a number of items which are 10 or 20 years old.
