Can you post a picture of the inside?
i agree with vintagemad:)
I will post a shot of the inside. I took the liberty of hanging the Coco Chanel key chain accessory on it for dramatic effect. There might even be a surprise or two inside the vintage bag. Keep an eye out!
vintagemad , since i lived in mpls and you lived in mn that small town do you remember "DAYTONS"ADS IN VOGUE MAGAZINE FOR THE CHANEL SHOP? THAT WAS THE BIGGEST AND THE BEST FOR THE DEPT FED INTHE USA? do you recall this ?
No sorry to say I don't remember the ads or the Daytons. I have probably been to a Dept Store 5 times in my life. At Christmas as a little girl I remember going to see all the decorations at some Dept. store not sure which one. What store had those horrible Santa Bears? I know that Minneapolis has always had a strong pulse on fashion.
