patchwork purse dgA part of me hopes that the retro 70’s refurbished leather vintage look sticks around forever.  And the other part of me doesn’t understand why flower power bothers to resurface!

You might be able to find one of these in your mom’s old vintage truck of surprises.  Patchwork purses  are back as a hot summer 2008 trend - - and lucky for us the patchwork purse isn’t partial to only hippies.

Michael Kors is doing metallic patchwork purses, diamond shaped patches are huge for Dolce & Gabbana, and even Prada has their own version in snakeskin tiles (right). As sported by Victoria, Fergie and Lindsay  these patchwork purse are sure to patch your look together in more ways that one!

Dolce & Gabbana is using the opulence of brocade for dresses to lush hand bags.

For a modern twist D&G are meshing brocade with tule and exotic animal skins. This is so fun because it’s both eccentric and fashion forward patchworked into one.
