Hi! I finally decided to post a thread of my own, after I bought a Phoebe yesterday.

Most days I have to carry tons of files and work stuff so I wear a beat-up Longchamp... but I do love bags and have a teeny tiny collection that's bound to grow in the future

First of all here are my vintage Levi bags, my parents got them in the 1970s in San Francisco. They say they were prototypes made by the store and that they weren't mass produced. I think it's just a family legend but nevertheless I love these bags.

boudoir, I think those bags are so unique!

I also love it that they come with a lovely story!

Thank you for sharing.

My suede bags... I will never buy a suede bag again... I barely used the Coach one, even though I love its shape, because I can't seem to clean it up

The other one is a Karine Dupont bag. I love it! It's suede with encrusted little pieces of shiny fabric.

My Vanessa Bruno "Bolero", and my Mulberry "Phoebe". I just bought Phoebe yesterday... total impulse buy.

The Levi's bags are so unique! Thanks for sharing!

Have you tried a suede cleaner for your Coach bag? The boutique may have something.

La Vanguardia · Jul 10th, 2006, 11:41 AM

The Levi's are quite interesting ... really unique.
