this nubby weave looks like the fabric from a channel suit. a red band of satin brocade adds a touch of chinoisery and is edged with an unusual black beaded tassel passementarie.  the handle, in butter soft cabretta lambskin, is long enough to put up over shoulder and short enough to feel comfortable on the arm.

anne's sister

similar to the smaller 'anne', this vintage chenille fabric in beige, and moss has been subtly quilted with gold. a swag of olive satin passementarie encircles the purse. what appears to be a brocade at top is actually all embroidery and appliqué (which took 5 hours alone to produce)! see the detail. this is topped with gold braids and brass filigrees that ornament the handles which are of tan ultrasuede.

this purse takes its name from the telephone number on the card holding the quirky vintage rick-rack which i bought decades ago. so it has to be from the 50's... or earlier! the heavy striped fabric in tans, browns and blues, has a lovely sheen and is topped with a beautiful brocade. the handles are tan ultrasuede. see a detail.
