Congratulations on your first BV! I love the vintage pieces--the leather becomes unbelievably soft. Gorgeous color, too!

She looks a little brown indoors, but she is definitely a gorgeous deep purple color!!

Anyone know when this bag may have been released? I know vintage in purses isn't as old as I normally associate with vintage.

And what do I do with the mirror? I'm afraid I'll break it if I leave it in the purse!

Thanks to Baggiana on Authenticate This!

You are so welcome, cz!!! Your enthusiasm and love of purple just brings a smile to my face!

I believe that bag was probably produced in the 80's. She is such great shape for such a vintage piece! You can do whatever you want with the mirror. I adore using mine (am a real fanatic about wanting one with my bags) and keep it in the zipper pocket. I have never broken or scratched one because I do not store sharp objects in the zipper pocket. But that is just my fetish... If you do not feel comfortable carrying it, just live it at home. I guarantee you that your beautiful BV purple bag will be just a lovely with or without the mirror.

You should see my wedding plans... Seems like purple will be the theme!

Oh, Yay! My bag and I could be the same age!

The mirrors could be interesting to collect, but I can be a klutz and would worry about it with my keys and other hard objects in my purse.

Thanks for all your help again!

cz22 · Jun 12th, 2009, 10:11 AM

Thanks for the warm wishes Baggiana and CX827!

Now if only I can work my purses into the wedding... maybe a clutch at the reception.

mandelinka · Jun 12th, 2009, 10:33 AM

Gorgeous bag, can't believe how good the condition is (considering it's age)!
Good luck with all the wedding preparations, must be so exciting.

Baggiana · Jun 12th, 2009, 06:06 PM

Definitely a clutch... but there is also a vintage flower wristlet, but I have never seen it in purple. BTW, there is another purple vintage BV up for auction now, and the price is low, but will go higher:

It could drive you crazy... and use up your campana savings.

BgaHolic · Jun 12th, 2009, 06:21 PM

Magnifique!! I just bought my first purple bag! A YSL Marjorelle. I must say the color does make a statement and is much more versatile than I ever had imagined! I'm a brown/black handbag girl. It feels great to go out of the box!

Wear it well!
