Here is the mysterious Ms. H. I think she is an exotic but not sure (turtle?).... Hope someone recognized her, sure love to know the maker.

Not sure of the maker either but yes, turtle

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

I have a vintage Mark Cross. I absolutely adore it. Feeling like Grace Kelly!

I like candy bag from furla brand, italy. Anti rain, water n sun shine n dust. Easy to clean up. Rather than leather bag. However i collect leather bag from fossil, so vintage n cute

I love vintage bags, and pretty much all of the bags I carry are vintage.... I'd say my favourites are vintage BV and vintage Coach (the bonnie cashin designs).

I also love Roger van S purses - I don't know much about the designer, but I have a couple of the purses and they are very cool.

My green vintage Givenchy (unauthenticated on the PF). A very structured handbag with a vintage 1950s gold inner nameplate, and heavy-ish adjustable chain straps. I would never sell this handbag. The corners fold out to open and has a magnetic button closure. Apologies if I have already posted this handbag in this thread before. Purchase price: $10.00

The corners fold out to open and has a magnetic button closure.

Correction: It has a snap button closure. Not a magnetic closure.

Thank you!

Thanks, I know ... and I think that it would fit any body shape. Whether wearing it closed or open style I can fit my work day essential (day-timer,wallet, phone/G.Note, keys, umbrella, apple, toiletries, purse hook/hanger, etc, with lots of room to spare). Although it feels rugged both inside and out, I really baby this one. Probably because, besides that it looks nice, it appears to be a rare bird. Another gift that was this find is that this kind of olive green is my favourite handbag colour. Michael Kors', Malachite is ok but this green is perfect.

I have some old bags from the '40s and '50s--the leather's in gorgeous shape but the hardware is quite discolored and has some rough spots. I tied a scarf around the rings of one of them to hide the the more obvious parts, but does anyone know if there's anything I can do to make it slick and shiny again?
