SHIH handbag new

[chihuahuagal]

Hi Everyone!

I am new here. I am a one bag kind of gal. I am almost 40 and can't spend a lot on a purse but love high quality ones. I fell in love with this SHIH handbag at an antique store and paid about 35 for it. It is buttery soft, has a sheen to it, and is in great condition. It has q great leather smell and the inside is pristine. It is very heavy. Does anyone know what year this is from and the name of this style or anything else? It seems that it was barely used.

If you do a search here you will find some threads about that brand.

Nothing terribly useful, as usual.
But may help.

And couple threads on topic:

I have a couple of slgs by SHIH and they're very well made with beautiful leathers. This reminds me of the days when indie designers were out there putting out some of the most gorgeous bags. Unfortunately, most are out of business now but you can acquire those beautiful bags for next to nothing. HAYDEN Harnett, Goldenbleu, Treesje, Shih, Anna Yuen, Gryson...
