Did you ever own any Oroton Glomesh items?

Yes i sure did!
Still have one of them but dont use it anymore.
A friend came to me the other day with about 5 still in original box - a relation hadf died and she asked me to sell them for her on Ebay.
So, currently I have 5 auctions including the photo to sell for my friend! Fun....

What about those sexy drapy Glomesh tops . . . ?? Woohoo. Very risqué.

I had the fake glomesh - from the markets.. lol.. in a lovely electric blue... SOOOO trendy

by BritishStorm

Sure did . . ! Ah, how ritzy we all felt with our Glomesh and Oroton bags. Haha. I think I still have one in a box somewhere.

I did have a couple of Glomesh bags, and I still use them occasionally. I did have the Glomesh top as well, that my sister gave me, but I was very young when they were popular. I don't know why she got it for me because I could never wear it, as I was way way too young to get into discos.

Nope, I've never had anything like it. I was a tomboy though and preferred my BMX to anything girly

by Belinda

I remember them very very well.
Everyone seemed to have one.
I didn't for that very reason.
When I first saw the Tops I was really taken aback....yuck.But that was a long long time ago, thank goodness.

I bet they were nipple pinchers! Bahahahahahahahahaha!!! (and cold too, i'll wager.)

exactly lol...lol..

Yes, many years ago, when I used to wear some grey cloths with other coloured cloths, I had a grey mesh bag. In fact I think it may still be high up on the shelf in the wardrobe! I can't remember where I bought it from now. over the years, when I've picked them up in the stores to have a look at them, I found them a little on the heavy side to hold, as I like very lightweight handbags these days.

by Miro

I agree with you, miro_ . . . too heavy for me as well and the strap (if you can call it that) is too thin and rigid.

I've now found a mauve 1 with my other handbags I hadn't looked at for quite a while. I really should donate them I see them in op-shops all the time, big & balky!

No.

I used to have a gold glomesh purse in the days when they were fashionable, but not any more,oroton is too expensive for me!

by Diana Nairn

Yes a white and black one. They were so popular back in those days.

I still have both Oroton and Glomesh handbags and purses in my wardrobe. Can't bear to part with them even though I don't use them. My favourite one is a white coin purse with flowers on the top part near the clasp

by helga

I have a couple in my wardrobe that I obtained second hand. They are rather tarnished , but I probably thought I would do a painting on them..or some other art project that didn't eventuate.ishould send them on their way I think.

Too young.

by AJ

No, but I think someone in my family must have because I remember the texture well.

by Vee

I've got a few of my late Mother's 'Glomesh' handbags, still in their original boxes!

I collected 'Glomesh' Wallets, Coin, & Cosmetic Purses, in the '70's & '80's, when they were popular.
They're unused, & still in original condition.

I've several 'Oroton' Tote, & Shoulder bags, & Evening bags, all of which have been, & are constantly used!

Being quality, they last, they don't date, & I love using them!

by donjo

yes I have several oroton handbags in their original boxes . have not used them in years.
