It’s In The Bag!

Purses are a very personal choice for all women. My own personal preference is a satchel style purse while my mom’s favorite was a purse with as many compartments as possible. Still others like my daughter love a duffel style purse and my grandmother loved the standard heavy duty granny bag. No matter what type of purse you love you can’t go wrong with a vintage bag and now’s the time to peruse fall and winter styles like suedes, velvets and fine leathers!
