I adore vintage and antique purses – I’ve got quite a few in my own personal collection There’s something about the attention to detail and delicacy that older evening bags have.
I was tickled pink to see that Anna Sui is using some of the vintage purses as inspiration for her Fall 2008 Collection in Milan:
