Alexandra Cassaniti

This bag is by Alexandra Cassanti available to buy from Creatures of Comfort.  It has a hand drawn paisley print which looks like it has been painted once the bag had already been made.  The rustic veg tanned leather combined with the drips and splatters make this bag pretty special and unique. This is art meets bag in a big way.

VINTAGE LEATHER BRIEF CASE

I like the look of this vintage leather brief case. Its simple but ticks all the boxes of that vintage variety. The simple corner re-enforcements have a slightly elongated and elegant shape and the radius' are just right. Its another winner from etsy i just stumbled upon looking for something entirely different. I'm glad etsy is based in brooklyn otherwise i would be broke with a room full of bags.

ULTRA LIGHT NYLON BAG

Colour blocked bag in ultra light weight materials. Moving away from the heavy traditional satchels and things we are seeing now, sports is the new vintage.

TRIANGLE AND PATCHED


I like small triangle bags. This one is made from patches in leather that reminds me of the 1970s. Its modern and vintage at the same time.

I BOUGHT MYSELF A NEW BAG

I must be so easily influenced, i don't normally splash out on bags spontaneously, but i recently bought this lovely thing. I love bags which seem like they are specific cases for things.

OVERSIZED RUCKSACK

Nice oversized military style backpack with simple leather strap fastening. I like the boxiness of this and the super simple construction.

I like dipped coatings. I can't deny.

VINTAGE HIKING

Backpacks, rucksacks, whatever you want to call them. They are not just sporty with puffy shoulder straps anymore but go back to their roots of vintage camping with military inspiration. Here are some amazing images of vintage ruck sacks, note the colours, the details and the subtle branding style which make these bags so delectable.

WILLIAMS BAGS

These extra-ordinary bags by Williams British Handmade are by Sarah Williams. Generally the pieces are artworks inspired by vintage bags and made into strange shapes. They utilise traditional craftsmanship techniques and translate them into ultra-modern abstract pieces which seem to tell a strange, fantastical story.

I'm not sure what this bag is designed to carry, maybe a piano accordian?
