Auto Fabric Shoulder Bag
All the purses, clutches, and makeup bags in this line are made using vintage automotive fabrics, a nostalgic selection of colors and textures guaranteed to not only get your motor running, but send it into a purr. This particular bag features the pleasing ocean-and-sunset stripes of a 1975 GM Chevy Sportsvan, which means you get to make “if this van’s a-rocking” jokes whenever you carry it. -Guest posted by Evany Thomas
