Hello my vintage bags friends,
I have been having fun scouting local estate sales for vintage bags, but not as lucky as I hope (did find a beatiful vintage Busch opera glasses from pre-WWII, that was exciting
)
Thanks to Papertiger and Vitta passion for exotic skins, I bought the great book and have purchased some exotics from local vintage stores and online. Will take pix of them, soon to share. In the meantime, I need help ID skins on a bag I am interested in. I posted on the purse ID thread, post#1399. Hope one of you ladies can help. Thanks a bunch!

I have this vintage bag that I love but I'm afraid I don't know who makes it! I posted it in the "identify this bag" thread but since it's vintage, someone suggested that I post it here.
I have been trying to find something for over a week now to no avail. It's beautiful, black leather embossed snakeskin with two gold chain decorations on the front with 4 straps... the cotton lining has the eiffel tower with either C C or C D?? I'm just going crazy looking.. lol
Below are some pics that I took...
Thanks in advance! I know you all will probably know even without pictures!! lol

I have a question. If you order a vintage bag and the adhesive is deteriorated between the lining and the purse, would you still use it as is, or could you have it repaired? Or is it done for?
This happened to me, and the adhesive had turned nasty orange and had stained the lining of the purse, and smelled bad.

I found this Japanese-made white beaded bag at Goodwill for $2. I was attracted by the Marshall Field's label inside. I don't know how old it is but it must be pre-2005 because Macy's bought Fields in 2005.
When I was a little girl Marshall Field's was one of the finest department stores in Chicago and sold very fine goods. I thought that it was a pretty little bag for $2 bucks! And it had a bonus inside - an Estee Lauder give-away mirror!

This my most recent vintage bag find, it is Bonnie Cashin for Meyers. I bought it from SA, original price was $50, but I was waiting patiently until comes the week where blue price tags are 50% off, so I called every Monday morning and then finally got it for half price.
Only problem with it is "old bag smell", otherwise it in as new condition, I don't think it was ever really used.

I wish they made a fragrance that had that old bag smell. I love that smell!
Amazing bag! Great price!
How lovely!
Gotta be 50's or 60's! Nor sure but it sure gives off that vibe!
Adorable! And of course that is one great price. When Salvos does half off the bags are $2.09 ...
Sounds done for due to the smell.
But maybe someone else can say ... I try to only buy vintage in very useable to me condition ...
that is incredible!! How lucky you found this, and I love the paperwork with itThis my most recent vintage bag find, it is Bonnie Cashin for Meyers.
