Bliss By Heather retro messenger bag

Posted on | 3 Comments

Bliss_bag Etsy is always a great site to check out for limited edition and one-off items, including many with a retro theme. And that includes this Bliss By Heather retro messenger bag.

The fabric used looks very familiar, but I can’t quite place it – not unlike the vintage Linda Svensson cloth for sure. The interior of the bag is lined in black and there is a zip pocket to hold your keys and other valuables. The flap of the messenger bag closes with velcro.

If you want one, you can pick one up online, priced at $49, which is around £25.
