Hand-Painted "fly with me" 1960s Artist Up-Cycled Brick-Red Faux Leather Handbag

About the Item

Eye-catching "Don't be like the rest of them, Darling." up-cycled hand-painted 1960s vintage handbag by Lilli Grill. Talented Munich-based illustrator Ursula Baur alias Lilli Grill is the first artist I am happy to work together on this project. This handbag is number one of five one-of-a-kind handbags embellished by her. Love her imaginative and expressive fashion-savy illustration art. Lilli Grill designed the playful illustrations according to the shape, style and colour of this unique 1960s brick-red faux leather handbag and painted them by hand with acrylic paint onto both outsides. The “fly with me“ named artwork features a stylized woman's face with yellow eye shadow, long lashes and a coral pink lipstick on one side, and two fashionabel beauties with yellow earrings chatting on the other side. Rigid frame design. Double top handle. Three compartments including two open flat side pockets and an interior white and black patterned faux leather lined compartment with a slit pocket. Gold tone metal push lock closure in the form of a bow. Signed by the artist on both sides inside the open flat side pockets. Excellent vintage condition. Width: 22 cm – 8.66" Height: 19,5 cm – 7.68" (without handle) Height: 33 cm – 13" (with handle) Depth: up to 8 cm – up to 3.15"

  • MOSCHINO COUTURE S/S 1993 Fleur-de-Lis Appliquéd Blue & Red Top Handle Bag
    By Franco Moschino, Moschino Couture
    Located in Munich, DE
    Early Moschino pieces designed by Franco Moschino himself – often referred to as Italian fashion's "enfant terrible" – within the short period when he launched the House of Moschino in 1983 until he passed away in 1994 are sought after and highly collectible. This treasure, like several others that are already available in my shop and more to be listed gradually, comes direct from a German socialite and fashion collector so has not been on the market prior to this. This exceptional and rare Spring/Summer 1993 Moschino box bag is a love letter to Italy and dedicated to the city of Florence. It showcases some heraldic symbols, the so called 'Giglio' – a stylized red iris that is the emblem of the Tuscan capital – and the Florentine colours. The design is a wonderful example of Franco Moschino's fanciful creations and captures the fun vibe that Moschino has always represented as a brand. I am delighted to have found documentation of the matching jacket (I had in the shop as well) with a photo of a "Tribute to Florence" window display from January 1993 in the book about Moschino "X Anni di Kaos! 1983 1993". See the last two pictures. The twin of the jacke is part of the permanent collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The top handle bag features 22 gold metal fleur-de-lis studs set onto a royal blue patent leather on one side and an oversized cream patent leather fleur-de-lis on the other side sewn onto cherry-red patent leather. The sides are cross-striped in black and white and the bottom plain cream with five gold metal bag...
