Definitely need info on this bag. I'm looking at it on my phone and it looks like a flap clutch. Vintage Gucci?

Thank you for all the love for my Bracher Emden bag, it kind of surprised me because it's old but not yet vintage. I guess there's must be a '00s maximalist revival going on :graucho:

The bag combines pretty much everything, python, ostrich leg, metallic leather, quilting, lacing, brass tassels and Swarovski crystals (and is multicolour for this week too). The workmanship is very good, not in the same league as Gucci or H but painstaking plus solid and strong and every bag was completely handmade. I met Richard Emden at London Fashion Week a few years ago and asked him about his bags (he was doing a line without Bracher at the time).

I usually use it as a clutch but it has a shoulder strap too. Inside it's one large This is the only BE I have (it was a birthday pressie from my mum though we chose it together). Let me tell you this is minimalist example by their standards, many were dripping with detail and some of the larger bags were kinda too crazy (even for me) but this one is perfect for pizzaz for spicing up an outfit.

My multicolored bags:
• Chanel iridescent caviar beige and black tote w/ghw
• Celine Edge in python and black leather w/shwView attachment 3705443 View attachment 3705444I love multicolored colored bags and would like a few more. But I've been focused on getting my core collection complete first.

My Chanel tote is the absolute best buy of my entire collection for two reasons. First, I got it for only $530 on eBay in phenomenal condition. (It was poorly listed and photographed.) I was so scared it was a fake that I sent it in to be authenticated v. just sending in pictures. Second it showed me I can love totes. I didn't think that was possible. But this tote showed me it is and raised the bar. My tbd black tote has to be perfect.
