Dear Bagistas,
For New Years, my lovely bf gave me the
Handbags Page-a-Day desk calendar. Dont you just love when they get the simple
gifts right? What better way to start the day than viewing bags? I love that there seems to be a fair mix of 1990s it bags, vintage, historic bags dating back to the 17th century, crafty concoctions not really my cup of tea, but still fun to look at and a few 21st century creations. The vintage looks from the 30s through the 50s are really neat. I love all the dainty structured satchels and purses. The whole lady-like vibe is very much my personal aesthetic. I guess thats why Im drawn to designers like Tracey Reese and Nanette Leapore and handbag designers like Lulu Guinness, Anya Hindmarch and Mary Norton. Just looking at this one white Scotti-frame crocheted purse (circa 1940s) I know I've found my dream resort bag. Now it only I could find it? Huumm maybe I'll check out some consignment shops in the city when I get back from vacation? The scanner is on the skids, but once it gets going Ill show you some of the great finds I'm currently salivating over.
Have a bag-a-licious day!
