Flower Power
I’m not usually a girly girl, but lately I’ve been getting in touch with my floral side. Stuck in the rut of San Francisco’s foggy "summer", I needed to find a way to bring some sunshine into my wardrobe. Kim White’s vintage floral bags are my bright solution to the dreary, solid greys of my cityscape.
Kim unearthed an amazing collection of vintage floral fabrics from the “˜50s through the “˜70s that were originally intended as furniture upholstery. Naturally, the durability of these fabrics lends itself perfectly to handbags. The beauty is in the history of these gorgeous textiles and each is truly an original. Big or small, flocked or embroidered, Kim’s plentiful prints fill the glass on a day when I’m feeling half empty.
