Three Mid Century 1940s and 1950s Vintage Purses

Calling All Bag Ladies!

Don't let anyone tell you that you have too many purses!

We believe one from each decade is the minimum! Purses through the ages have varied in size, matieral, functionality and visibility. Our selection runs the gamut of eras from sweet Victorian crocheted pouches (bonus: this one doubles as jewelry!), 1920s beaded reticules and unique mid century lucite and acrylic handbags. Some of these may only be able to fit a lipstick and a credit card, but how fancy and carefree would that feel! Just make sure your outfit has a pocket for your phone ;) 

Others have plenty of room for the modern woman. We just listed a fantastic 1960s doctor style bag in sleek black leather by Canadian brand Normandie from Montreal. It is truly fabulous and can everything you need and then some!
