    This is my current flavor of the month for many months running. :) I carry a few different handbags (which should come as no surprise to those that know my leanings!), but this one is the most frequent one I have been carrying and as at the top place in my wardrobe....a patent leather kelly with a studded handle by Caprice. Okay not THE Kelly (which i could only dream of affording) but when I saw this in a shop a few years back, I just knew it must be mine.

    I just pair it with a pair of any color patent leather shoes or my two toned hush puppies in whatever color I feel like and I feel immediately pulled together no matter if i am dressed up or in jeans and a t-shirt.

    So, I know what some of you have collected, but what have you been carrying lately?

    I am so boring when it comes to handbags (well clothing I wear in
    general). Sweater, jeans, leather saddle/shoulder bag.

    I love vintage, but rarely wear it.

    I love leather saddle bags

    (show us Sue!!!!) ;)
     
  4. Love that handle Chris!

    Right now I am carrying a vintage Tano of Spain brown leather handbag. It's somewhat square-ish, about the size of a lunch box!! It's great for everyday because my purses tend to take a beating and this one is very sturdy!!

    I save my nicer vintage ones for special outings and such!

    Am I going to post a photo??? Not on your life!! I am a tad bit Photoshoped out at the moment from all the workshop photos.... Calgon take me away!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Went out the other night carrying this 60's bag. Its extremely long so it fits a lot unlike most bags I have. Small handle. Jersey covered with a stripe of satin through the middle. Used it with these 50's shoes that I just got. Just like my mom used to have and they are the most comfortable heels I have ever had on. Don't even feel like heels.

    Two different eras but most people probably wouldn't even know around here.

    Lovely Pauline! They coordinate so well with eachother - i mix up eras all the time. I am always so attracted to 60s bags too because of the streamlined quality. Those heels do look supercomfy too. THey must be really well balanced. When i find a great shoe i snap up the same brand/different colors when i find em.

    Funny thing is when I grabbed the shoes I didn't realize they were a 9 no size anywhere. I thought maybe 8s and started to squeeze my foot into them and it slipped in perfectly. Even my sis with her bad legs and feet thought they were so comfy not even like putting on heels.

    that purse doesn't look it in the pic for some reason but it really is long.

    My purse collection is getting really big!

    I am ususally carrying a leather saddle bag or something leaning on the boho/hippie side.

    Since Christmas, I have been carrying the Marilyn purse Sue sent me and I think I get a compliment about it nearly every time I am out!! (Thanks again, Sue! :) )

    My Logo Girl Has a Kelly Too!
    But its a Knock Off!!! (by Jaclyn) But its LIME GREEN :)

    Don't underestimate the leather saddle bags, ladies. I love the patina that broken in leather has. And they go with everything!

    And Christine, I bet you get a zillion compliments on your Marilyn!

    I love all those bags - and of course, Anne that red Hermes is absolutely DEEEEE-VINE!

    I carry my ever trusty OLD OLD OLD LV Speedy that my Mom left for me. I alternate it with funky junk. I'm a real handbag maniac.

    How old is OLD OLD OLD?? (inquiring minds want to know!)

    And if you are a maniac, I must be clinically insane!

    The red white and blue clutch purse I bought from you is at the top of my summer repertoire, by the way :)
     
  18. Well, since you asked...

    I am looking forward to carrying my new VFG bag.

    You can get one too!
