PATINA...

An interesting thought: Back in the old days (you know, like 40 years ago?) one way of telling one’s wealth came from “Patina.” If you were ‘old money,’ your fancy leather shoes would gracefully age. Whereas if you were ‘new money,’ those same shoes would be shiny, untouched by time. But nowadays with trends changing every New York minute, how can we tell? It is surely a sad time for America.

You can check out PATINA, an accessory company that we've previously featured in Modamag to get started on your own patina signature style; your very own "weathered, worn or distressed" piece of personalized art.
