Plastic/ perspex bags,my all time favourites

This weeks DREAM BAGS....

I just love the 50's style in general and especially handbags  from that era , so it was fab to see these absolutely marvellous ones on

I especially like the one in the front with the orange top and handle

Got any great bag pics to share?

This weeks dream bag....

I just love the brand Bottega Veneta, the craftsmanship on their  INTRECCIATO NAPPA bags is divine.

They seem to design classic bags with a fabulous twist ..if only I had the money to buy one . This week my favourite bag  is the NERO PLASTER LACE  BAG,   let me know what you think 

... fabulous isn't it ? ah well I can dream , but more importantly take inspiration and just pure pleasure in viewing their whole collection , which is stunning every time...

all my delicious finds from over the years are going into their new home!

Now all i need to do is find a freestanding perspex step or shelf to put at the back ,
I can then have  2 tiers....
loving my acid yellow background colour.
