Huge vintage bag collector and seller here
Seller because at one stage I had over 1,000 bags and the spare room was full. Mainly collect tooled leather, 40's/50's crocodile, Oroton, Glomesh and I have the largest collection of vintage Faigen handbags in Australia. I've sold most of them off on ebay over the past ten years (under junkshopjewels), but still have a couple hundred - many of which I simply can't bear to part with.
Haven't worked out how to do photos yet and it would take forever to show them all, but I love vintage bags! The workmanship, the uniqueness, the wonder - sometimes they come with receipts and bits and pieces which gives you a glimpse into the world of the previous owner - just fabulous
I can't help myself, it's an obsession And then there's my coat collection LOL

I thought I was bad with my collection. Could you share a few of your favorites? I upload photos from photobucket, maybe you can try to post pics from there.Huge vintage bag collector and seller here

Hmmmm - as soon as the batteries for the little camera recharge I will photograph a few of my absolute faves - like the Egyptian gilt and painted leather purse... or the Mexican Flores tooled leather treasure... or there are the incredible silver and gold metal thread embroidered ones... or the beautiful crocodile bags (full head hides).... or maybe my gorgeous vintage Balenciaga...
tee hee
Raven, Wako is a Japanese brand , which has counters in high end department stores.Can anyone tell me if they know anything about this bag? It's vintage, I think. The name is WAKO and I love it.
