About the Item

Eye-catching "Don't be like the rest of them, Darling!" up-cycled 1950s/1960s vintage handbag hand-painted 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 four of four one-of-a-kind handbags decorated by her. Love her imaginative and expressive fashion-savvy illustration art! Please have a look at our storefront for the other three designs. Lilli Grill designed the playful illustrations according to the shape, style and colour of this unique 1950s/1960s maroon leather handbag and painted them by hand with acrylic paint onto both outsides. The wearable artwork features a lovely group of three giraffes whose spots are held in hues of pink and match the ruby-red colour of the bag on one side, and the word "SAFARI" on the other side. Frame design. The body of the bag is beautifully set into the leather covered frame with a series of soft pleats. Single handle that runs diagonally across the top. One compartment with two flat side pockets. Gold tone metal push lock closure. Lined in a black moire fabric. Marked "Boscha", a German leather bags manufacturer established in 1927. Very well made! Excellent vintage condition. The slightest patina and scratching to the metal frame and closure. Clean interior. Please have a look at the pictures. Width: 32 cm – 12.6" Height: 24 cm – 9.45" (without handle) Height: 42 cm – 16.54" (with handle) Depth: 7 cm – 2.76"

MOSCHINO Redwall Drum Novelty Top Handle Bag, late 1980s/early 1990s
By Moschino
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 available at the Oh! Jackie storefront, comes direct from a German socialite and fashion collector so has not been on the market prior to this. This rare late 1980s/early 1990s MOSCHINO novelty bag is a wonderful example of Franco Moschino's fanciful designs and captures the fun vibe that Moschino has always represented as a brand. The design looks like a typical harlequin drum with its triangles in red, navy, yellow, green and cream leather and the red cord embellishment at the top and the bottom. It features a golden leather top handle, a cream top...
