Vintage handbags

I love vintage stuff.
Its always so....

Which is your favorite ?

Ankara bags

Most expensive Handbags

$3.8m - 1001 Nights Diamond Purse

Wow!
That was and still is my profound reaction to this bag.
If I had this bag I really doubt I would be able to wear it?
I would probably create a museum for it.
It was created by the House of Mouawad in Dubai.
The bag actually has a Guinness Book of World Records as the "World’s Most Expensive Handbag"
Wow!

$2m - Hermes

The bag is about the size of a bracelet.
It was designed by Pierre Hardy for the Hermes haute bijouterie collection.
There were only 2 pieces ever made.
One has 1,160 diamonds and the other 11,000 diamonds ONLY!

$1.9m -  Hermes Birkin by Ginza Tanaka

This purse is even smaller than the one on top!
It can even be worn as a necklace
Its made of platinum with over 2000 diamonds

$260,150 -  Chanel Diamond Forever Classic

Its also made of white gold platinum, alligator skin and 334 diamonds .
There are only 13 pieces in existence.

$150,000 -   Louis Vuitton Urban Satchel

I really think LV was trying to mock people when they made this bag?
To prove that some people would pay a ridiculous amount for something they perceive as high fashion.

Only 12 of these were ever made (thank God!)
Anyway to each their own....

Which is your dream bag?

Caring for your bags

Style is an option clean is not.
-Autum Worcester

You bought it in a flea market?

It’s a Louis Vuitton bag?
Doesn’t matter…….

Lack of love for your handbags and purses would render them unusable in no time.
No matter what they cost, they should be priceless to you.

Like caring for anything, it doesn't cost much money , just a little time.

1. Store them properly.
2. Invest in a bag rack.
3. Store them in dust bags.
4. Clean them with the right cloths and cleaning agents, even when they are not being used.
5. Invest in at least 10 good pieces and use alternatively for long lasting use.
6. Is it out of fashion? But still in good condition? Take it off your bag rack, store in a dust bag and put it preferably in a plastic storage bin, where it would be protected form dust. It would definitely come back into fashion and by then its vintage!
