Gitano Canvas Weekend Bag
No matter how nice a bag looks, if it’s not utilitarian, it won’t meet any modern woman’s requirements. These Gitanos have taken me all over the world. They’re sturdy, yet lightweight and soft. You can stuff enough clothing in one for the weekend, use it as the perfect carry-on or pack one in your suitcase if you plan to do a lot of shopping! I love the vintage prints: no matter which you choose, it will soon become your “reach-for.” Measures 22″x 15″ x 7″.

Erda Handmade Leather Bag
These bags were made in the 1960s by hippies in Maine. Each one was created by hand and no two were alike. When you see one in person, you understand why: they were total free-form designs, very earthy but also extravagant, often embellished with semi-precious stones (as this one is). Measures 11″ x 9″ with a 40″ strap.

’60s Raffia Guitar Purse
Yes, you’re seeing what you think you’re seeing: a gigantic straw purse shaped like a guitar, detailed down to the frets and strings. Novelty purses were particularly popular in the 30s and 60s, and I love them for their humor, conversation value and attention to detail. Tag reads, “Lewis Imports Made in Italy.” All the best straw bags were made in Italy. Measures 18-1/2″ (another 7″ for the neck) x 12″ x 3″. Straw strap measures 36″.
