Top Up

Top handle bags are seemingly always in style and always being reimagined. Done in metal mesh in the 1920s, fabrics in the 1930s, leathers in the 1940s & 50s, vinyl in the 1960s- the details may change but the basic silhouette remains!

Omg, that Harkin bag!! It’s like a Case Study piece of furniture. How to rationalize that purchase?? Hmmm!

Thanks for feeding my sick habits, always!
