Do you ever feel like splurging out on a bag every now and then? I do, but thank God that Net-A-Porter is in pounds and I am not over-paid, I have been able to fight off my obssesive urge to purchase a bag. Recently, on hot Ebay fever, I discovered a gem. I was blessed enough to come across a vinyl 2 story hangbag that is in absolute mint condition! There is only one small tear (shown in the second photo) on the inside of the flap. It was beautifully wrapped in tissue papar (browny points from me for taking good care of vintage pieces) and when I opened the package, I was far from disappointed at my winning purchase.

As you can see, the handbag is composed of two comparments – top and bottom. The top ‘floor’ to hold the necessities- wallet, phone, keys, glasses,  sunnies. I hope they can all fit!

Peekaboo!

Here is the lower ‘floor’. There is a mirror to scare its viewer of her reflection. This must be the make-up department. Instead of using it as a mirror I may use it as my ‘noticeboard’ for posted-notes.

Having only paid for a tiny fraction of the cost of a designer bag, I am delighted with my new Anti-It Bag. Why covet Versace, when you can have vinatge?

I saw you with this bag last Sunday I think and I forgot to say how cool I thought it was! I love the lower compartment!
