Vintage Bags anyone?

[papertiger]

Hello ladies, just want to show off this pretty little Coblentz I recently added to my vintage family. I can't resist the gorgeous shade of blue against the gold hardware. I was amazed to find something this old in unused condition, both the purse and its little coin purse are pristine, even the little mirror still has its wrap.

lizard and snake, wow, now that is simply beautiful. Undoubtedly a uniquely acquired taste in exotic bags.

Lizard bag above is awesome.

Cute little Texier. Of unknown vintage, but I think it's real...

Additional pics...








Hardware is substantial (and needs a bit of Brasso), and leather is thick but stiff. Smells nice, but not the most tactile.

I picked up this "MM silk satin" Morris Moskowiz bag at the Goodwill for $5 because I loved the pave crystal/rhinestone floral clasp. It's marked "Arnold's Chicago", but I haven't been able to find out much about the Arnold's store.

Beautiful! Morris Moskowitz is one of my favorite vintage bag makers!
Just to let you know, you can get those white marks off patent bags with toothpaste...rub a little on and then clean it off with Windex. That's my favorite tip for spiffing up vintage patent leather/vinyl ...works like a charm!

wow, thanks for the tip vintagewise!
