Hi there, The label on this purse has a picture of Toronto City Hall which was built in the early 1960s....other than that does the purse give any clues as to it's age? Thanks alot, Lauren
I've seen his bags before, to be perfectly honest they are usually kind of boring - like this one: http://www.etsy.com/listing/94869352/vintage-1960s-handbag-60s-kelly-bag-gray However, I think yours is much nicer than usual. The Toronto City Hall was opened 1965, and I bet your bag is late 60s - or really early 70s. LOVE the label - never see it before.
Hi, Oh fun! I actually have this same bag, and have owned it since the early 1970's when I picked it up at a NJ flea market. Mine is a dark brown, thick yet soft suede leather, with the exact same tassel, chain handle and frame. Mine has had the tag removed before I bought it, so now perhaps I can identify it. I always thought it looked mid 1960s romantic revival to me.
That's so cool Barb. I love the two length adjustable chain/strap design of this one. This one is a strange material. It doesn't really show up in the photos, but it is a very light, very fine grained synthetic of some sort and there is a some sort of foam padding underneath. Not sure what to call it. I love the label too...very reserved, very 'modern' Toronto of that era.
