Here is a list of my favorite purse links. You will find web sites with fabulous purses for sale and all kinds of great information about vintage and antique purses!
This is the web site for the Antique Purse Collectors Society. There is an annual membership fee of $18.00, which provides members with access to the site. If you are an avid purse collector, I urge you to join, as you will find fabulous purses and frames for sale, numerous repair resources for the different types of purses, cleaning tips and of course many tantalizing photos of some of the purses owned by the members.
Ruby lane in itself is a fantastic place to shop for purses, but I have to include a link to my favorite dealer, Madonna Swanson. She lists some fabulous purses for sale and is very knowledgeable
I absolutely love this site and consider Jackie to be the "guru" of purse repair. Her work is incredible, though she is no longer repairing due to an injury. She has beautiful purses for sale, as well as photos of beaded purses that she has created based on the old patterns.
Here is another lovely purse seller! Her name is Judy Hunt and she has now opened her own little shop in Ruby Lane. She offers beautiful purses for sale and even offers "Discount Days" to members of the Antique Purse Collectors Society (APCS).
Another fabulous site! Owner Jeanne Little specializes in a luscious assortment of vintage and antique jewelry, purses, hats, clothing and vanity goodies.
This is my ruby lane shop, where I sell all kinds of antique and vintage goodies! Stop on by and you will find fab costume jewelry, perfume bottles, Mexican and Native American jewelry and of course a few purses!
For those of you who collect mesh purses and are in need of repair, this is where you should send your treasures. Dorita Hoff is the mesh purse repair extraordinair and I HIGHLY recommend her. Her website is fabulous with wonderful before and after pics, as well as valuable mesh purse information.
Finally!!! Well known Author Lynell Schartz has put up her much anticipated website, and the contents are just as wonderful as her books on purses, compacts and other vanity treasures. Peruse her site and you will be treated to a selection of vintage purses, jewelry, compacts and other goodies.
