Vintage Bags anyone?

[hot4bags2011]

Hi ladies, I'd love to see pics of vintage bags too! I don't know much about most vintage styles, but I do love the Bonnie Cashin Coach bags! 'm posting pics of my one vintage bag that I've been too ashamed to post so far for fear of getting labeled a Purseforumer with no taste :shame: But it's one of my favorites, a tooled leather bag from the 50s or 60s I'd guess that I use frequently now that the weather is getting warmer. The best part - "Betty" !

It's unique and I like it. It's a statement piece

I have a lot of vintage bags from my aunts, but those brands are not recognized anymore. Most of them are just small cluthes. I still use them time to time.

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

Is this the style? if so, I have the same bag...one of my most favorite bags ever! I swear its indestructable!! (& I like that it's not something you see around town on just everyone. It took me a while to find this one in a decent condition)
here's mine

I got this from Notting Hill for £15. The brand is Luigi and made in Italy but I'm not familiar with the brand.

I found this purse yesterday and can't quite make out the makers signature, does anyone have an idea?

I just last night saw some beautiful vintage bags on etsy. I seriously considered purchasing a few, but wasn't sure if I should. Anyone else ever purchase from etsy?

I have the same exact bag, color and all; and didn't know its value until now. The leather is thick and will probably last several lifetimes. Great idea using it to carry laptop and cell phone in the front pocket.

I love, love, love, vintage bags some of them are exquisitely made. I particularly look for bags that can be worn today. I am building a collection of Waldy bags, these were beautifully finished bags, made of the highest quality leather and materials and all to an exacting standard. They used to make bags for the Queen before they went out of business. I could go on and on but don't want to bore anyone!:shame:

Some-one else who loves Waldy Bags.I wish Icould find more of them!

I have an ancient Burberry shoulder bag that I bought at a resale in Portabello in London a few years ago. I'm not sure exactly what decade it is from but it looks quite old, in a neat way. It's a little worn out but really cool! It's fun to think about who might have carried it and where it has been.

Me too,I also have a lovely but a bit battered Mulberry Satchel which I bought in Portobello Road some years ago!

Not sure if I ever posted this.

My Aunt K and Aunt L got me this for Christmas. They bought it at their church garage sale for $1. Aunt K said she saw it and just knew I would love it and for $1 why not! I wanted to know where it came from so her and I started searching the Internet. We found out its a Whiting and David and was produced around 1940-1950 and a few can be found on *bay. It's gorgeous and fits my iPhone, credit card, lipstick, and gloss for a night out. I love this bag and my friends do too!

My Deitsch Brothers vintage baby alligator handbag the chain link handle is heavy:

Well, this is fantastic! I am not alone! Yaayyy!

KATY - I browse through eBay all the time for vintage bags....it's fun. Roberta di Camerino made exquisite bags in the 40's and 50's (now the line is clothing, etc.). Once in a while you can find some on eBay. I'm watching one now....we'll see how the bidding goes.

I'm so glad to know there are others on this forum who love Vintage as well as the new. It's nice to meet you!!!!

I find with e bay a lot of bags are not what they appear to be!
