YOUR VINTAGE HANDBAG GUIDE（2）

Ever dreamt of your family heirloom jewels or sari's from your grandma's exquisite collection? Or better still her vintage handbag which she has preserved so carefully for her daughter and granddaughter. While some of us may not have the privilege of inheriting a classic handbag, for that there are vintage stores where we can rummage to bag ourselves an eternal "It". bag   Here is a list of eternally stylish must-have bags that have surpassed decades of seasons to still be seen around on the arms of fashionable women. LOUIS VUITTON SPEEDY While this style is now considered to be the most common amongst Vuitton-ophiles, it was actually introduced over 75 years ago! First introduced in 1933 and styled after the iconic travel Keepall, the Speedy is the perfect city bag; a luxurious alternative to a regular canvas bag. The Speedy comes in four sizes, which gives you a variety to choose from and match your occasion or mood. Made of monogram canvas with natural cowhide trim and golden hardware, the Speedy is completely waterproof and able to withstand surface scratches, making it perfectly suited to the sophisticated and urban lifestyle. Whether you inherit a Speedy or manage to buy the latest style the Louis Vuitton   heritage still remains the same. GUCCI JACKIE O BOUVIER HOBO This Italian luxury house created the Bouvier hobo in 1961 and was made famous after being seen on the arm of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, hence the name Jackie O. The main features of the bag are the hobo shape, double strap, and a big H clasp. In 2008, Gucci  's creative director Frida Giannini reinvented the Jackie O handbag and gave it a modern twist with printed canvas along with the classic monogrammed hobo with the company's signature red and green stripe running down the centre of the bag. FENDI BAGUETTE The Fendi Baguette is the youngest vintage bag out of the lot but is as famous as the rest. It recently celebrated its 10th anniversary. It was released in the late 1990's under Karl Lagerfeld's creative direction. It's fame around the world was spurred by Carrie Bradshaw's obsession with the bag on the hit show Sex And The City. The bag is characterized with the double F logo and comes in a variety of styles and sizes, Fendi   even came out with a kit where one could design their own Baguette. Whether you inherit or buy a vintage purse, you can always let your mind wonder what this classic piece has witnessed as it has passed hands and owners through the decades.

hmm doesn't really look vintage, more kind of ethnic which is in this season. i'd say it looks more kind of hippy (which i guess was huge in the 70's)
