Lately I've been carrying my Holt Renfrew Kidskin leather-lined bag. In a series of emails with Holts, we determined that it is likely from the 1970's
Vintage Bags anyone?

Thankyou! I found it while "Vintage hunting" and it appeared to never has even been used. The interesting about this bag, as well as the obvious Chanel dynamic of it is that if it is from the 70's, there were a few years between the time Coco passed away and Karl took over, where I understand Chanel as a company had contracts with high end department stores such as Holts and Bergdorf Goodman etc. Hmmm. . .
I found this purse yesterday and can't quite make out the makers signature, does anyone have an idea?
This is a Coblenz purse. Congrats!
My vintage Chanel is 21 years old.. same age as my first born! But she is in a great condition and will be around for 21 more years with care

Thank you Pastels, I can't wait to see your collection. Please post quickly, I love vintage.
luciabugia, no way you can't have a child who is 21 years old! You look too young for that? I remember reading your blog post about your chanel only a few days ago and it is truly a beautiful bag. I love the tassle!
Sorry for the misspelling. It's Coblentz, which designing was quite elegant in the 50s. Raven, I am waiting for a sunny day to take pics for my vintage purses. It's been raining for almost 3 weeks here. ..
I've been carrying my gorgeous vintage Kelly style bag. The inside says made in Italy on a gold plate- no other brand or logo. Got it in a vintage resale shop
So gorgeous! is it of genuine alligator?
I loooooove vintage bags. I have 2 collections - Bellestone alligator and lizard handbags, and Arts and Crafts embossed/tooled leather bags. I don't carry the Arts and Crafts bags (they are very small and flat and have room for nothing more than a mirror and a comb!) but I do carry the Bellestones. They always make me feel so darned gracious and ladylike
Wow, I also love bellestone of gator and lizard purses. What I am fond ofmost is an Alligator Bellestone, which is 12" wide, big enough to hold everything I need.
wow.. really gorgy!!I've been carrying my gorgeous vintage Kelly style bag. The inside says made in Italy on a gold plate- no other brand or logo. Got it in a vintage resale shop
