They say virtue is it’s own reward.
In this case they’re right.
When my DH returned home and saw the untampered packages he decided I didn’t have to wait for Mother’s Day for his gift!
So I opened the package...
And thought.....
It wasn’t either of the Meyers bags I’d expected.
“You’re surprised aren’t you?” he said, clearly pleased with himself.
”Shocked.” I agreed with a watery smile. “What made you choose this purse?”
”Well you don’t have one like it.” he replied. “What do you think?”
(what I thought was a *?#! Clutch! )
But what I said was “Oh sweetie, you shouldn’t have!”
And I meant it.
Not that I would let him know how disappointed I was. Instead I swallowed hard and examined the purse thoroughly, feigning enthusiasm.
Admittedly it was in wonderful condition for a bag made in the late seventies. The woven leather was a deep rich chocolate brown, soft and very pliable.
Even better, inside the bag was its surreptitiously attached shoulder strap.So it could be worn as both a clutch and a shoulder bag.
To please my DH, I tried it out first as a clutch.
When I did, I was instantly reminded of the ladies in the movies of my youth. How they carried their clutches with great nonchalance and style.
And I was enthralled.
So here she is, my very first vintage Meyers, both as a clutch and a shoulder bag.
First the bag...
Next as a clutch....
Then as a shoulder bag....
In this case they’re right.
