Vintage Alligator Purse

i found this vintage alligator purse in portland.

i had to have it because i am loving all things animal skin.

i know.  weird.

you should have seen how fast i snagged a dyed green snakeskin picture frame at the thrift store!

people were scared!

but see that peek of original shoulder strap up there.

wish i took a better picture of how bad it was.

barely holding on....bad shape.

so i cut it off.

and i added this little new but vintage looking scarf.

just looped it thru the available hardware, tied a know, doubled it up on itself.

and voila!

a super cute usable vintage bag.

sweet!

come and touch and see it for yourself.

for sale at Smashing Rubbish.

right now.

pricing, sorting buttons, and writing a lot of overdue blog posts,
