:o Wow! We have some real purseaholics here! :o

........is there a 12 step program for that??? ;)

Very cool collection, Alana! Are you selling any of those or are they your personal collection?

Dear bagaholic;

Is the large clock purse by Mariyln Brooks? She was a Canadian designer out of Toronto that came up with that design in, I think , the late 1970s.

 

yes, I am going to sell off some of the collection !!!

The LP bag is made from Barry Manilow alblums!

And, yes, the clock bag is a Brooks, but the clock keeps bad time! I don't use it much because too many people stop me when I have it!!!

Ahhh.... so many bags, so few arms.

 

If you decide to sell off the Brooks clock purse, let me know. I used to find them often and resell them, but now I want one for myself and the only ones I can find are the knockoffs done in China in the late 1980s and 1990s

 

Oh man I love that clock purse...i had one and sold it (stupidity). Mine wasn't a Brooks it was later so not a real one. But I thought it was fun just the same

(and no let ME know...i like it MORE) HA HA

 

In the last pic, the one that looks like stained glass is funky!

 

I like them all too......have sent many minutes studying each pic.....

I had a clock purse when I was in high school. No clue the brand of it, but I loved it and got it from my great aunt before she died. I have no clue what happened to it. Must go on the search at granny's to see if it is there.....

 

alana they are fab - and what i love most is the fact you have them all on display! have you taken over the entire room? i hope so!! :D

 

More cool bags!! (I don't get out enough.) The record purses are a first for me - what a novel recycling idea.

What an amazing collection and I LOVE your display method.

It always thrills me to see all the creative methods people use to display their collections.

I worked for Marilyn Brooks when she did the clock bag. It would have been around the mid 1980's when she did them (probably 1983 or 1984). I had two of them...don't know what the heck happened to them???? I moved a lot in those years, so I probably gave to a friend. Stupid me!!

 

I have the same clock purse hanging on my bedroom wall, and it's by: "M. Brooks" too. I thought it was cool 10 years ago. Cant remember where I got though. I think it was somewhere in Palo Alto.
Oh well, no matter.
What would one of these be worth? Just curious.
I might just have to list it.

Paula.... I paid $55 for mine on ebay. I asked the seller prior to bidding if the clock worked, she said yes, to my sadness, it does not keep time right.
