Collection Overview
Bags Filled with Memories is a display of vintage handbags with unique stories. Whether thrifted, handed down, or inherited, each showcased item has come into our possession differently. The reasoning behind selecting handbags for us was simple; the contents of a bag give an overview of the owner that the owner never could. All 4 of us picked our favourite bag for a reason personal to us. Maybe it’s the length of the handle and how it feels on our shoulder, the multitude of compartments to keep things organized how one may prefer, or it could be the colour of the leather that triggers a happy memory. These bags had a story before they came to us, and now they are an integral part of ours.
