Vintage Bags anyone?

Wow! That is fabulous. I have only seen Mark Cross leather as well.

Thanks Chow, I've had her for 3 to 4 years. I bought her because she was pretty, I was shocked to find it was Mark Cross.

What a GEM! Congrats on the amazing find, Raven! Sorry can't be of any help with the question.

Thanks Carrelover, it's a difficult task finding the info but I will try.

Question, this is a Mark Cross vintage handbag. Usually I find Mark Cross in leather. This handbag was made in France with gold wire. I absolutely love it! I wish I knew the daye...View attachment 3777706

It's been a while since I've posted on this thread, but I need help. I purchased this bag today and cannot date it. I'm guessing these are semi-precious stones, but I am uncertain. If anyone has information, I would truly appreciate it.

Awesome purse. Maybe a Jolles?

How old does a bag have to be to be considered vintage?

This beaded pearl piece was passed down from my great grandmother to my grandmother to me. It would be interesting to discover its origin. But in any event, it is the most sentimental item I own, and the pièce de résistance of my collection due to that factor alone. It’s my dainty vintage beauty... Completely encapsulates the aura of the women who owned it prior.

Wow! How beautiful! Are those “natural” pearls?

I’ve always thought that vintage meant 20+ years.
Antique = 100+ years.
I’m interested to see what others say.

This is one beautiful work of art, very pretty.
