MINI MESSENGER BAG

I'm feeling rather silly today. This is what i wish i looked like for one day. If i looked like this, i would stay home all day lazing on the couch with my crocheted bag stroking it gently with my fury hands. I may be slowly going mad, either that or i have been hanging out with quirky swedish people too much of late.

WITHNAIL AND I INSPIRED BAGS

Inspired by the cult movie - Withnail and I, i did a bit of bag research. I describe the look as disheveled bourgeois or ramshackle. The movie is about a couple of want to be thespians out of work living in squalor in camden. They decide to go on a weekend away to uncle Monty's holiday cottage in the countryside where their domestic abilties are even more tragically hilarious.





Scratched leather frame bag. Adult version of a very serious school bag.



The slightly shiny leather on this bag coupled with the 70s style lock makes it a very nice understated business bag. Found on etsy.com



Hartmann travel bag, i imagine this is quite 70s.


I think this is a music bag - a sort of opening leather portfolio.

80S VINTAGE TAPESTRY BRIEFCASES

I have been at it again on etsy... and i got mildly obsessed with these highly 80s briefcases. I imagine when working women started hitting the pavement ala Melanie Griffiths... the bag designers out there had to come up with something equally as striking.


The designer had obviously just got back from a holiday in Egypt when this bag was being designed.


No, this one is not strictly a briefcase, and in fact, its not really 80s but a bit more on the 70s side... But i like it anyway.


I do actually love this solid briefcase. Its like some person has thought... what do you get if you mix a 'normal' mens briefcase with pretty flowery things that women like... i know... its a cross between aunt mildred's sofa and a standard work case.


This one above is a sort of american aztec meets bed linen design. It definitely provides some good clashing pattern to ensure full impact clash with any other elements of the outfit.


This one, i actually want for myself... but its a shame i don't really have any important business meetings to attend on a regular basis.
