Wow 60s Lilly Pulitzer Bag (Don't Look, Chris and Maureen.)

Wow 60s Lilly Pulitzer Bag (Don\'t Look, Chris and Maureen.)

:D Did you look anyway?

I got this, a couple of days ago, though handbags are rare for me. I paid 5 times more than I'd usually pay and have spent a couple hours cleaning it, but a little voice was calling out to me, as I tried to walk from the store to my car, with my other purchases.

...'60s Lilly Pulitzer, with the orange-font-on-white tag inside; wicker handles and base; patchwork/windowpane sections of fabrics trimmed in braid, with a hidden signature in the lower-left-corner on each long side; embroidered-ribbon trim (and tag) on the inside...

I can't find anything like it and am hoping my little voice wasn't 'off kilter.' I'm seeing a lot of actual, modern Lilly bucket bags and 'made from Lilly fabric' DIY bucket bags. I think it's 'cute as a dickens,' but can I consider this special and, erm, if so, how special?

That is very cute! (of course if you told me not to look, I am going to look

I am not a Lily Pulitzer expert, however, but I like it. since it is actually a Lily Pulitzer and not just made out of the fabric, I think you made a very good buy!

I would have to do some research on it for pricing and timing, and maybe someone more in tune to the collectibility of Lilly will chime in.

I am not a handbag expert but I love it! I think you made a wise choice. I am sure I have seen some mag pics of purses like this. Is the blue close to a TEAL that is so popular for this Spring?

 

Just wrap it up and send it to me. That's an order!

 

Thank you! The blue is, indeed, "teal"! I'll be sure to mention it.

Ha, Leigh! We can just do a trade for one of your fine, 50s, lucite numbers.

 

Of course I looked!! What do I look like, a saint???? :saint:
