Great Minds Think Alike … About Foldover Bags

September 5, 2007 by WendyB

Bag from Posh Vintage

This ’60s foldover clutch from Posh Vintage (above) reminded me of Poppie Couture’s foldovers. The vintage bag is less expensive but the Poppie bags are certainly beautiful. I love the deep red color.

I feel that I’ve also seen foldover bags with a big ring handle like the vintage bag’s, but I haven’t been able to track those down. Mostly because I’ve been too lazy to look very hard. If you find them, leave me a link in the comments!

    well I was looking at shopbop’s bags and this one is kinda similar…it doesn’t have a big ring, but it’s the same idea: http://www.shopbop.com/shop/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524441805515&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302024667&fm=browse-category&ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=1408474395181057

    those foldover bags are beautiful. i love the first one best.

    thanks for stopping by, and when the first two weeks of school are over, and all my sixth graders feel a little more confident in their lives, i’ll be able to relax and blog a little more. please keep reading.

    ps, you do not look a speck like liza minella, not even in that suit. don’t fret.

    The light blue dress is delicious! So, you like those pradas? They scare me! I could do an all black, but something about the beakish looking heel is freaking me out. I’m sure you would wear them well though 🙂

    I bought a pair of shoes that I thing you’d love! From Te Casan in Soho, the designer is Gaetano Perrone and he was just poached by Dior. I will blog about them later tonight, but I did a quick piece on my other blog at Honey Magazine(http://honeymag.com/modules/stylechile/). Enjoy! They’re now on sale for $187.00.
