Stan Williams:Hooching

What started as a way to give friends personalized gifts that suited their personalities and his wallet, has turned into a micro-business for author  Stan Williams.  Utilizing his skills as an “Elegant” thrift shopper, Stan has turned vintage finds into one of-a-kind keepsakes called Hooch Bags.

What is a Hooch Bag?

A Hooch Bag is a vintage bag selected by me, The Elegant Thrifter, that is  a naughty-but-nice offering of cash to burn, a little sinful sweet to eat, a nip of booze and other surprises.

What inspires a Hooch?
A Hooch Bag is inspired by the bag itself, even though they all contain some of the same elements. Each bag also has a name. So for instance, Eve may look all innocent and virginal until you look in her bag and discover a nip of gin and a pack of candy cigarettes!
