A thought on vintage purse design
Posted on 18:16 by kumar
I took these photos over three years ago when I did an article on a vintage shop, but I never used these pics of all these amazing vintage purses. I have a thing for vintage purses as they are structurally so interesting, so very often works of art from a design perspective.
I remember looking at this beat up but super interesting bag style purse.You can't tell but it's made of hard metal and suede. I thought it was so sculpturally funky and said so, and the owner said designers often come in and buy up neat pieces such as this to know them off.
I hadn't thought of that, but do I sound like a a crabby pants to say that so much of what's out there in fashion is knock offs, either of current designers or vintage looks? Guess that's the way it is. And am I being silly to think vintage is pure in this respect, void of any reference to the past? Probably.
