vintage,hippie,bags More sophisticated than the more traditional "hippie purse" and more graceful, this shoulder bag is still from the late 60s or early 70s. Both sides are top-stitched for the window- pane effect. The tops of the bag are reinforces, so they don't roll over or get wilted looking. Snap closure. Bag is self- lined with the leather's own suede. Separately applied, hanging leather pocket with metal zipper. Padded, flexible straps have an 11" drop. 13 1/2" wide at the widest point, by 12" high, by 3" deep. Absolutely mint, never carried.

vintage,backpack The label says, "Hell Bent Leather and Silver / Durango Telluride / Colorado." I can just see the shop in my mind's eye, can't you? Small? Kind of dark? Great aromas? Leatherworker with an astonishing beard and brilliant blue eyes?

Okay. Back to reality. The reality is that this is one GREAT pebbled leather backpack. Self-lined with the leather's own suede. Magnetic snap closure. Single, separately applied, leather hanging pocket. Short hanging strap in back with a 1 1/2" drop.

Bag is 10" wide at the base, by 12 1/2" high, by 6 1/2" deep. This pack is completely clean on the inside. Exterior has a splendid patina. Great condition.

vintage,cartoon,bags I did a quick-and-dirty search for this cartoon charachter, without any luck. I searched for "woman warrior" "unicorn shield," "riding bear." If you recognize her, please let me know.

The person who did this tooling was VERY talented and did an amazing job. The detail is astonishing--literally the best I've ever seen. The bag itself is well made, too. It is the first of these 1960s and 1970s tooled "hippie bags" I've seen that is lined. The lining is lightweight, ribbed, black rubber, so the bag is effectively waterproof. Braided shoulder strap has a 18" drop. The vintage shoulder bag measures 10" wide at the widest point, by 8" high, by 4 1/4" deep. Excellent vintage condition. (Marked down from $74.00.)
