My Favourite Vintage Bag

I have loved this bag for about 33 years. It was handmade with precision by my Dad for my Mum in 1952. I played dress ups with this bag regularly as a child.

When I was 2 years old I decided to add some toddler scribble to the inside of the flap. The scribble says "Mummy, can I have this bag...pretty please?" Mum recently gave me the bag :).

    I LOVE the purse! And what a lovely story that comes with it. I think as a kid I also added my "signature" to some of my mom's things!
