So my Mum collects bags like I collect nostalgia. She has at least a good 50…going on 100. Usually not to my taste, but yesterday I found a real blast from the past in this real leather navy blue bag.
I’m unsure how old this bag is, I’m thinking late 80’s/early 90’s, I can’t ever remember my mum using this, but it does show a little use. Inside I found an old M&S green carrier bag. Well it is one of her favourite shops after all!
I love how it’s completely practical as well as stylish. M&S are real ones for style and function in my book. Two straps- my dream bag.
She said I could have it straight away and I just had one of those moments where I wanted to transfer contents of my old handbag immediately into this one.
Ooh that's lovely. I'm such a fan of old M&S stuff as it's always so well made you know it'll last forever.
ReplyDeleteThats really nice, will be good with summer dresses and in winter too x
ReplyDeleteThat's a gorgeous bag - I love the colour.
ReplyDeleteI picked up a bag yesterday in town, & got excited because of the double straps - my friend thought I'd lost my mind so I'm glad it's not just me that appreciates these things :)
