treasured possessions: watercolor bag

talking about happy colors, i love everything yellow!  and one of the things thats so dear to me and always bring along with me wherever i go is this vintage yellow bucket bag from Christian Dior that i bought from a flea market in the Philippines ten years ago!!!!!

it sort of has an orange-y watercolor design mixed with ostrich handles and the softest buttery leather ever.

i use this very rarely now but i used to always bring this on overnight trips or picnics or shopping... because there is a lot of room in this ol' gal.
not only is this uber cool vintage and designer.... one reason i love it is because i bought it only for a dollar!  yes, i swear!

    1. am guessing not a lot of people knew who Christian Dior was in that place where i bought this and everybody wanted a black or neutral color bag... bright-colored bags were not in yet at that time :) so this was priced very low because nobody wanted it :)
