about me

Our millie mini-purse, designed for the perfect little night out. Inspired by our favorite 90s box bags, this free-standing purse can be perched perfectly next to you on the bar. 

Part of our in-house small-batch line, this bag was made by vangie in our Philadelphia studio using a 50s quilted cotton textile exterior, and vintage green silk interior. This is part of our small-batch production, only 8 have been made.

• Materials: The stunning quilted cotton has a repeating geometric motif, bold palette, and dense machine embroidery. It strongly aligns with late 50s textile production, when postwar optimism and midcentury modern design pushed color, pattern, and texture to the forefront. This type of pre-quilted embroidered cotton was commonly produced as yardage for skirts, jackets, and accessories, intended for home sewing or small commercial runs.
• Era: Re-made using vintage materials, textiles estimated late 50s–60s
• Designer/Brand: vangie
• Origin: Constructed in Philadelphia, vintage textile origin unknown
• Design: Mini purse silhouette with soft quilting, repeating geometric embroidery, fabric-wrapped handles. Brass feet so bag stands on it own. 
• Material/Construction: Quilted vintage cotton with batting and machine embroidery using rayon thread. Fully lined in vintage acid green silk. Fabric-wrapped handles. Brass-tone hardware and feet.
• Size & Fit: Mini tote style. Approximate flat measurements: width 8.5 inches, height 7.5 inches, depth 4 inches. Handle drop approx 6.5 inches. Fits your iphone, wallet, keys, and other small essentials. 

Each remade piece is made from deadstock vintage fabrics and salvaged vintage textiles. Every item is handmade, and may vary slightly. All measurements are taken flat unless otherwise noted.
