I love vintage bags!! They really add character to your outfit. Sadly the vintage bags we can find over my place are just brown hues... Here's one that belongs to my mom:

I buy lots of vintage coach..... but my personal favorite right now is the skinny tote.... with the kisslock coin purse on the front. It's forty years old and so thick the leather will last forever ..... I carry this and no one has one like it. ipad fits inside the main part....and my cell fits in the coin purse. so perfect
 
I went to a 3 estates auction yesterday that included items from the Victorian period to up to the 90s. At this auction were two Louis Vuitton handbags. Both are well loved and one of them I believe may be a Louis Vuitton duffle by the French Luggage Company. I am guessing it is from the 70s or 80s. It's been well-loved, the zipper is missing, and some structure pipping is showing through. Nevertheless, it's a gem to me.
