Hi - I'm new to this blog and so glad to find others with the same disease/obsession as me for handbags! My biggest sorrow, though, is a Fendi bag I had 20 years ago when my first child was born. I celebrated with a Fendi from Neimans. It was one of the earlier "polished cotton" bags, gray with light leather trim. It was rectangle in shape, laying on it's long sided, and, best of all, the top was hinged!! When it opened, you could get to everything.
The inside was also coated, so I ended up using it every day and threw into it bottles, juice boxes, etc. (I know....the shame of it all!). After a few years, it just finally died and I had to give it up. WHAT A MISTAKE!
I wish I still had it. I have never seen a greater hinged bag since.
If anyone ever sees it in a vintage collection, let me know.
missing you, Ms. Fendi -
