I was thrifting last week and on the floor was the beautiful burgundy leather bag. I picked it up but didn't recognize the name immediately. I purchased it because the quality is outstanding and the colour is so lovely. I phoned my DH to look up the name - I was spelling it as one word....."l..e..m..u..s..t..d..e..c..a..r..t..i..e..r"
DH who collects watches recognized the name immediately LE MUST DE CARTIER. I bought it and had it authenticated here on TPF by a lovely lady.
So, here it is:

What a great find! Congratulations! I wonder what year it is from.
(Interesting to note that Sofia Coppola did not really come up with this design for LV as some would have you believe.) I recently picked up a Charles Jourdan bag at Winners that is similar. Enjoy your find.

stuffed amongst the other purses, with a $2.80 price tag, this didn't jump out at me, but I decided to pull her down and take a look. I love Koret bags!! This one is calfskin, and came complete with attached coin purse, mirror in satin cover with "Saks Fifth Avenue" stamped on it, and also, what seems to be a tortoise shell comb. It attaches to a golden spine which also holds a fingernail file, which I almost didn't catch til I accidentally realized the comb detaches and then I could see the file inside. What fun!!

I'm so excited! Just found a vintage Goldpfeil, and it looks absolutely pristine! I love it! The inside is this beautiful Jade colored silk and I swear it looks as if nothing has ever even been placed in it. I think it's from late 50's or early 60's. What do you think?

So pretty...that's the most gorgeous green lining. Why isn't that color used more often, I wonder :D

I've decided that now I've bought my first current season Mulberry I'm going to start going for Vintage pieces. I've always loved Vintage clothes and some older bags are just so unique and gorgeous. I only have one Vintage bag at the moment - an unidentifiable silver beaded clutch which I love!

It's funny that you mention Sofia Coppola LV because that is exactly what I thought when I picked it up!!!!! I told DH that I love the SC LV bag but clearly Cartier (or someone else) designed it first. :graucho:

The TPF'er who authenticated it says that it is probably from the late 1970's b/c I can't seem to find a date stamp/code.:D

I really like Charles Jourdan handbags too!

I recently saw a spread online where they showed her pouring over design sketches and leather swatches and quoted her as saying:

“I had an idea of what I was looking for and couldn’t find… I think it must be every woman’s fantasy to dream up an ideal bag and shoe. It was great to be able to make exactly what you want.”

Too bad she didn't just check out Value Village. haha :D Shame on LV for recycling this "design" and charging almost $4000.00 in the process of claiming it to be their own! tsk, tsk. :nogood:

I love vintage! I purchase my vintage at resales and estate sales. I live for vintage. I have never purchased on ebay. I just like to touch what I am purchasing. If I had to wait for someone to send it to me, I would burst.

After a long patient search for a Loewe bag, I ended finding this beauty on eBay!!! Not only it came in a pretty good condition, it also is also snakeskin!!! And Ive been dying for an exotic skin bag but could not afford one. Anywayz, enough with the babbling, here it is:

This is a Femme and the green purse is a Galleria Novita from Italy.
I found both of these at a church resale. I just love them! I also found a Prada and two Coaches and a Nine West. It's suede with a thick plastic buckle, too cute. I paid $60 for all of the bags. Sorry for the huge pictures, I don't know how to make them smaller.
