Black and White

Elisa Schiaparelli Design 1940's 

The combination of black and white has been a fashion statement since Coco Chanel, Elisa Schiaparelli and other top fashion designers decades ago created the HOT COUTURE LOOK. The NY Times stated "ANYONE who's looking around for a bold fashion statement need look no further: it's right there in black and white. Granted, this may not be the newest duo on the block, but time has done nothing to rob it of zest or stylishness. Consider the array of B&W combos seen recently on the streets of NYC."

Unique Vintage Black & White Handbags. 

Spring & Summer Fashion Trend — Black & White

All the way from the early 60's is this BLACK & WHITE drawstring purse. These purses were purchased at yarn shops and you made them yourself.  You could choose the color or mix and match colors to your hearts desire. The sweet lady that made this one must have bought the white cord a little at a time since a few strands towards the top are more of an ivory color.  Once she completed this adorable purse she must have tucked it away and never used it. PERFECT for today’s STYLES and VERY ROOMY!
