Meet my new prized bag- a vintage Patricia Smith Moon Bag.
Patricia Smith, of Milwaukee Wisconsin, made handbags from the late '70s to late '90s. Smith combined lacquered panels, which she designed herself, with either leather or needlework to create these amazingly unique bags. Intended to be interchangeable, the panels are held on by velcro. More examples can be found here.
Although not in mint condition, this Moon Bag will surely end up a staple of my wardrobe. The so soft it is buttery leather and sparkly rose printed rigid panel create a perfectly unexpected juxtaposition of texture.
