Vanity Case. Price £1. Perfect inside. All I need now is a weekend away. Bought in local charity shop, you know the one, the one where Joan works.
Brain Malfunction Day. Price £2:20. Good condition inside and out. Wish I could say the same about its owner. If truth be told I'm not really a faux fur kind of gal, but there's something ditzy about leopard/tiger print which appeals to the mini-starlet in me. Never lasts long though always return to more serious affairs.
The Red One. Leather. Great looking but a bit fussy due to flap over AND zip. I get ratty with unnecessary excessive closures.
The Wide one in yellow and red, made of silk in Vietnam is as light as a mousse and very friendly. Price can't recall but bought in London in Salvation Army shop on a very wet day.
The Wide white leather one also bought in London, Notting Hill Housing Trust shop, a Kenneth Cole design USA. Gorgeous but so heavy once filled.
The cute patterned black silk one at the back designed by Suzy Smith, a real favourite, been to all kinds of places with me. Some innocent, others, places you wouldn't take your aunt Nellie to. LOL!
The Mauve affair on the right was bought in charity shop on the Sydenham Road, London pricey...£4:95. Why not just say a fiver for heaven's sake. Roomy fun funky vinyl but used when mum was in hospital so have negative feelings about it. Hence no no more usage.
Aah the Tan one with its back to us...Exquisite but stained calf leather and so worn away with someone elses constant use that I can't be seen with it. I have a thing about stains. When I saw it though hanging on the rail it reminded me of Enny bags. And I love Enny bags. So bought it. Twit.
The Patent leather brown one dead centre bought in Hockley charity shop £8. Crumbs I thought but bought it anyway. It's a delicious hark back to olden times when handbags tended to 'Click Shut'. Interior perfect. Fawn suede. Little side pocket for mirror and zipped pocket for something else. No phone pouch. Yippeeeee!
Just been out....
No bags today in the shop but a tiny blue enamel teapot 50p, a German duck mug 40p and, especially so Terry P. can mock the life out of me, a Pewter Hip Flask..
Pic coming later.

Here I am - a fellow bag lover - partly because I can't resist handbags, especially 'vintage' ones and partly because someone once gave me a re-usable one that said 'I'm an old bag' and the label seems to have stuck. Haven't commented sooner on this post as I've slipped a disc and been on a cocktail of drugs that have given me hallucinations! No idea what I've posted on facebook - just hope no-one's been looking...bye for now Marilyn
