A Peek into the history of the types of pieces chosen in my Retro Redesigns

The 1920's -

beads, metal mesh and sterling in geometric designs.

The 1930's -

brought glamorous purses in cut steel, silk, wool and fine fabrics.

The 1940's -

innovations were all the rage: new plastics like Bakelite & Lucite My personal favorites!

The 1950's -

what can I say... color and new synthetic products such as vinyl and celluloid as well as naturals: snake, ostrich and alligator.

The 1960's -

"Sixties Hip." A more casual & natural form was brought to hand bags often hand-made from woven leather, suede and yarn.

The 1970's -

"A whole other world when glitz ruled." Sequins, bobbles and rhinestones were on everything!

The 1980's -

Over the top with a continuation of metallics and space age elements.

“You should see the handbag that Lisa made from an old
crocodile purse she put a turquoise disc in its mouth and
she made the strap out of turquoise and silk. The trans-
formation is amazing. It’s Great!”
- Cathy

Our One-of-a-Kind Handbags are accompanied by a custom made pouch
(example below), which adds another layer of protection and insures your
bag is always ready to go.
