CHARMING OF VINTAGE HANDBAG

Purse in USA

American fashion was developing a flourishing ready-to-wear industry of its own, and moving away from the influence of the European couturiers.  Clare Potter, one of the first American designers to be known to the public, commented in the 1948.

“We are constantly striving for excellence.  We are always finding ways to provide he best quality designer bags. From the fashion forward ladies to the uptown girls, we are sure to produce good vintage bags for your style” said Ales, Design Director

Of COMELY HANDBAG design team.

In America, the homespun delights of gingham and denim were appropriated by the trend for “peasant” clothes: blouses with drawstring necklines and puffed sleeves and dirndl skirts. 

Handbags reflected this use of simple materials, rustic charm and naïve influences.  The Sears catalogue of 1937 displayed brightly colored ceramic and wood-beaded bags with the slogan:” They’re smart, they’re practical, they’re easily cleaned!”

Wood and cork not only appeared on handbag, but embellished her small leather goods  and backpack.  Her 7breakthough was a dress of rough hopsacking with a wide, turned-down collar embroidered in bright-colored wool, and a wide skirt decorated with a broad band of yarn figures embellished with squares of wood sewn into the embroidery.

Straw, raffia and wicker baskets were also embellished with applique and embroidery, its apply to the fashion afterward.
