Bag pr0n

I think what really drew me to it was its dramatic shape, framed with bold brass. That and the fact that it has a little tortoiseshell-backed mirror inside, which I'm told has always been there, although it's different in style to the bag. No matter, I like it!

Although it's from the 1950s, I think the bag will work really well with my dieselpunk day outfits at Waltz on the Wye, and it's roomy enough for things like hotel keys, purse, lipstick and all the other gubbins I'll be carrying around.
Scarlet Vintage also had this incredible dress, cotton printed with images of Venice, for sale at the Secret Tea Party. It was sold to them by its original owner, who bought it early in the 1960s – so, a wonderful example of how '50s' styles did carry on over into the early 1960s. Want it? They may still have it, if you're lucky...

What a sweet little bag, love it! X
ReplyDeletedefinitely had to be bought! Fabulous.
ReplyDeleteSuper bag. The dress is also amazing!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you all like it too :) I think I have enough bags now and shouldn't buy any more. *Sadface*
