bags from the past


I love these two new bags I have been very lucky to have been given, both gifted from my Mum.

The little one in front Mum found for $1 at an op shop. Bargin! She actually found two, the other is a lovely light chocolaty brown which she has kept for herself.

The larger burgundy leather bag once belonged to my Nana. A cousin of hers made it! I think its my new favourite bag and is even more special knowing the history and where it came from.
Lucky me.

Oh i love the one at the front. My colleague had one just like it and I was fawning over it. Found one in an op shop once but it was completely destroyed. Lucky woman!

I have a bag very similar to the small one in the front, it's one of my favourites, perfect with sun frocks! Unfortunately mine is now looking a little battered!

LOVE the other bag - I really love hand tooled leather - gorgeous, and even more beautiful for its history. SCORE!

Both are gorgeous. But I'm perhaps especially partial to that leather one I love the engraving on it, and with the history definetly makes it special.

Beautiful bags, I especially like the engravings in the back one!
