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" !

Hi, This is a very unique vintage bag you had.
Loved it!

Thank you!

Thanks! Believe it or not I found it in a thrift shop.

I had it authenticated by etinceler authentications, and while they say it is authentic, they feel that the lining had been replaced in it. (ok by me!)

Found this black beauty at a thrift store (Saks Fifth Avenue, circa 1980s?). Love the snakeskin accent trims and flap!

I love vintage chanel bags and I was lucky enough to find one that I loved in good condition for a great price. I was told it was from the 1980's but I'm not sure exactly when.

That's a beautiful bag! I love the contrast of the snakeskin and the suede. It looks like it would be nice to hold.

That's ... ridiculously cool! Did it cost a ton? Is that rude to ask? Is it red inside? It's a beauty!

Hi all! my first post in this thread, although I have often admired the beauties posted here! Is this a vintage Coach? Bought it a few years ago and don't use it much, but I love it! It came with a US 13 cents post office stamp in the inside pocket, sort of forgotten there by the owner I found out that first class postage in US was 13 cents from 1975 until 1978, so I wonder if this is indicative of purse age. Any info is greatly appreciated!

Thank you! Not rude at all It actually was quite a bargain compared to the prices I saw of other similar or the same bags so when I saw it I immediately had it authenticated here on tpf and bought it! It's black inside.

Yes, it is a vintage Coach and the late 70's timeline is about right. Has the famous kisslock purse clasp. She is gorgeous and appears to be in pristine condition, a great find!
