There's no doubt about it, whatever the occasion, we just can't leave the house without a handbag. There are times when we just need a work horse of a bag that we can dump all our necessities in without streamlining them. There are other times when all you need is for your bag to look good and practicality goes flying out the window.
Well before you ditch everything but a mobile phone and credit card consider the wonder that is a vintage handbag.
Retro ladies were the queens of necessity and heaven forbid they left the house without their compacts to powder their noses, hankies and purses...The result: cute, usable, day and evening bags!!!
