Eye-catching "Don't be like the rest of them, Darling!" up-cycled hand-painted 1960s vintage handbag by Lilli Grill.

Description

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. Learn more about Lilli and her imaginative and expressive fashion-savy illustration art here.

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.

Condition

Excellent vintage condition.
