About Gear 80 Handbags

Donna, The Fashion Revivalist Hello there! I'm Donna, and if there's one thing you should know about me, it's that I have a passion for bringing anything retro back to life. Growing up in the vibrant era of the 1980s, I developed a deep appreciation for its unique fashion trends and accessories. As a lover of all things vintage, I found myself drawn to one particular iconic accessory from that era: the Gear clutch bag. This statement piece was a staple among fashion-forward individuals in the '80s, known for its bold colors, geometric patterns, and undeniable flair. It was the IT bag. Inspired by nostalgia and a desire to reintroduce this beloved bag to the modern world, I embarked on a mission to revive the Gear clutch. After months of meticulous research, sourcing high-quality materials, and my “THINK TANK” I successfully recreated this iconic brand all while staying true to the original design and infusing it with a contemporary twist. Bringing back the Gear clutch has been an incredibly rewarding journey for me. Not only am I able to use my 30 year background in fashion, I also get to share a piece of nostalgia with others who also appreciate the timeless appeal of '80s style. But what truly makes this journey special are the wonderful friendships I've formed along the way. Through our shared love of all things 80’s, I've connected with so many amazing individuals who have supported and inspired me every step of the way. Read their story
