Japanese Bamboo Bags

I love collecting vintage handbags. So much so that I once had 120 of them but since moving to a smaller place I got rid of almost all of them but kept the most unusual ones.  I was scrolling through Instagram and stumbled on a Bamboo purse I've purchased at Rose Bowl Flea Market about 6 years ago. I commented on her post that I had to follow her because I've found two items of hers that I also have. Then I saw my purse on another post, so it couldn't be both vintage? I tracked down one of the bloggers original post and found out that a company named Cult Gaia are reproducing them and it's all the rage.  Lesson to take from this is check out your local flea market, even eBay. Right now there's this on eBay. OR you can preorder on Cult Gaia and pay more. Thank goodness I already have them. I used the one on the right on a trip to Chicago in 2005 and my Cousin mad fun of it saying it looked like a bird cage. Well it is called a Japanese birdcage handbag. Folded down. Now go check out your local flea market for great finds! Happy Sunday!!! Rezel
