Default A Little Holiday Vintage Show
I was browsing through the library and realized I have "several" vintage bags .. and finally I have figured out how to post large photos (not thumbnails) .. so here for your Fourth of July amusement is my little vintage BV collection. (Uh oh! I have a collection!)

A favorite - another diamond embossed leather .. little handled clutch .. I like it especially because the long strap can be removed (not just tucked) .. and it has this pretty, almost smooth leather ? lining.

pretty!

Did you acquire them new or vintage? I'm really taken by many of the small vintage bags. They are so simple and beautiful.

They are all from eBay, over several years .. that's how the BV addiction started .. "small" purchases of vintage bags! There are no stores near me. Now, of course, I am in bigger trouble!

They are simple, aren't they .. guess I am always attracted to minimal-metal on a bag.
Born for BV!!
