Chowlover, Raven, Lazlo.... Thank you so much for the kind compliments! My only regret was I couldnt pick up the other Judith Lieber and two vintage Gucci from the sixties that are to die for, with amazing prices! The lady who passed away used to work for Gucci. I did pick up a Hermes scarf that day, too, though....:D

I usually post scarf pics on a different thread, but just for you, my dear Chowlover, here is Petite Venerie by Charles Hallo. I was told this could be from 1968 issue, but not sure (the caretag has long gone, etc.). I am including the hare and the hounds.... have a wonderful day:sunshine:
PS: Your chows are adorable!!! My dad used to breed and show them-- he even won some shows:smile1:

Thanks so much for posting! Your scarf is gorgeous, the detail, I swoon!

Chows are great dogs, they get a bad rap because of a few badly bred dogs.I wanted to breed Chows, this last puppy cured me of that! I couldn't imagine a whole litter of puppies like Beau. Thank goodness he grew up to be a great dog!:D

Hi, I'm new here. I am just getting into purses/ bags. I love vintage bags and plan on collecting a few this year.

My current obsession is Etienne Aigner-- I love the style, quality and timelessness of that brand, not to mention affordability (with two kids in private school that's a big plus for me.)

I also love me some Coach and in addition to my daily bag (which is not vintage) I want to adopt some vintage Coach babies soon.

yes...My favorite vintage bags are old Coach Willis bags (with the bar on top). The leather was divine...and they are as stylish today as they were way back when. The new leathers at Coach do not compare at all. I have been noticing with all these "ladylike" styles so prevalent in the marketplace, vintage bags have so much to offer women who like to make an individual "style" stamp with their bags -and still look like they are relevant to fashion today. It's such a great time, because vintage today doesn't look like you are "raiding grandma's closet"...the current designers are doing that anyhow to bring you bags that are already "looking vintage". When choosing vintage bags, you have to have an eagle eye for what is constructed in a way that still "fits" into 2013...and also possess some very good taste to translate it with your clothing. Some of the most interestingly put together women mix this stuff up so very well.
