Thank you both!! Yes the bags are certainly fun since they have such a different look! I like to have a variety of styles available, and some days I just feel like dressing up vintage ;)

Good day.....
Not sure if I have shared these babies yet. I only have 3 of them so far (not counting the Her Bag set). Can't wait to add the exotic leather H bags to the count:graucho: Here are my vintage Hermes leather bags, the Pullman (50s) and the Dalvy. I am still not sure what the little one (50s) is called. She is very similar to other H handbags from the era. Any ideas, ladies? Have a great weekend!

Omg they are all so beautiful. I especially love the Tan color. What is the name of Tan color?

Beautiful!! I love vintage Hermes bags.
I am currently using my vintage bolide-over 20 years old and in gorgeous condition.
They hold up amazingly well.ImageUploadedByPurseForum1437228211.285986.jpg

I adore vintage H! I love your Pullman and the Dalvy is TDF! :drool:
 
What a nice surprise to hear from someone on this thread...I appreciate the info :)

Though I've been more active on the Coach forums recently, I've always got my eyes open for other vintage bags. I bought 3 bags from a local seller on craigslist back in March. I posted on the AT and ID Chanel threads, with no luck. I probably will pay for authentication, just hoping for encouragement to do so. I'm confident in the first, but the other 2 have me stumped. Does anyone here recognize these bags? Any info is greatly appreciated.
Chains look like old Chanels (pre-Lagerfeld). Those bags, back then, did not say Chanel on the turn lock.
 
Thanks, chowlover2! The seller said they were ALL vintage (50's) Chanel. The first one is very dark navy jersey fabric and the inside matches my lambskin version, except the turnlock and the chain. I believe this is a mademoiselle lock. Every corner was shredded, so I did some really careful handstitching. This was the "before" pic. Still needs a thorough cleaning.



There are no stickers...I believe they are way too old for that.



Here are 3 pics of the navy jersey, showing the inside flap, logo stitching and back pocket. There is a very worn, imprint that once said Chanel.

The stitched logo on the other 2 is different, yet similar, and there is no Chanel marking whatsoever....but the chains are identical to the first one...very, very heavy. The black suede is lined in deep red smooth leather, the brown jersey is lined in burgundy/brown faille.

I will likely pursue authentication as you suggested...inquiring minds need to know :)
Those are fabulous and I bet they are all CHANEL (no one was faking that stuff that long ago) BIG SCORE. Very cool. I have never seen one before, but I have heard about them. I am jealous. They probably belong in a MUSEUM they are so rare. I am serious! http://www.fashionpearlsofwisdom.co...ry-facts-fakes-and-the-find-of-a-century.html

I have only just bought a vintage Coach bag and I can see why you ladies are so passionate. It is absolutely beautiful and so classy. It's supposed to be more than 10 years old and only cost me $100, but I know it is one I'll enjoy having forever. :D

Hey...good to hear from you! I miss the secondhand bargain thread...having a crazy-busy summer, work wise and very little time to post. Still have some time to shop though lol!

I did post all 3 bags on the Chanel authentication thread March 24 #1835. (I'm in a different computer, so I can't post a link.) I've done some restoration on all 3, but no new pics. And I just haven't had time for an official authentication...yet. I found the link you posted above while I was doing my research...still haven't found the other 2 bags anywhere. Thanks so much for your comments :) Stay in touch!
