60s Brown Leather Purse with Needlepoint Detail

Vintage structured brown leather shoulder bag coming to you from the 1960s. This vegetable tanned bag was handmade in the saddle bag silhouette that was common to the time. The bag is stitched together with leather lace that meets at a rolled leather button closure. The front of the bag displays a geometric needlepoint design that, unsurprisingly, does have some staining that is so light and barely noticeable that its actually impressive considering what all this bag must have been through. The years have given the leather a beautiful patina that tells a story of the bag's adventures spanning from the days of the Civil Rights Movement, Woodstock, the Vietnam War, the moon landing, the counterculture movement, and The Beatles to the present. With this bag on your shoulder, perhaps the hippie in you can be transported back to a time when there was nothing more important to you than your freedom. Because, after all, freedom is just another word for nothin' left to lose...
