Celebrate Betsey Johnson's birthday by shopping these hard-to-find vintage pieces
Shopping for a one-of-a-kind vintage Betsey Johnson piece? Look no further than Etsy for all her best old-school looks.
If you’re all about that colorful Betsey life, chances are you’ve got a closet full of animal print, pinks and reds, dots, and bows. Betsey Johnson‘s first fashion line debuted decades ago, and she’s still going strong. However, many fashionistas regard the ’80s and ’90s as the designer’s heyday. Pieces from those eras are highly coveted, but if you know where to look, you might be able to score yourself a rare piece.
Enter Etsy. The site’s vintage category contains many colorful treasures from the designer’s collection, punk label line, brand collabs, and diffusion lines. Unfortunately, because the pieces are vintage and designer, sizes tend to run smaller, and it’s hard to find larger sizes. Still, there are tons of bags, jewelry, and accessories bearing Betsey’s classic flair.
In honor of the designer’s birthday, we’ve rounded up a few for your perusal.
