Wiggin' Out



When looking for a vintage 1970's wig to wear to an upcoming disco themed 40th birthday for a girlfriend of mine, I discovered all of these beautiful wig carriers in my etsy search. I was instantly drawn to the utilitarian aspect of these as well as the color, fit and finish (lots of patent leather!). I also love that these things come from an era that I am eternally attracted to. I could easily incorporate any of these into my daily use, be it a design element in my home, a storage piece, or obviously a carrier or handbag. Love them!
