I\u2019ve been a frequent antiquing companion of the “Freakin’ ‘Tiquin Guys” for about ten years now, and fortunately they\u2019re not in competition with me when it comes to one area of collecting \u2013 vintage handbags. I collect many kinds: delicate beaded bags, arts and crafts tooled leather handbags, Cord\u00e9 fabric handbags, even grandma-type floral chenille bags. And of course art deco bags if I\u2019m lucky enough to find them for a good price. As Anthony and Chris would agree, half the fun of antiquing is finding what you like at a good price!<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

So here are some examples of the art deco bags in my collection. First, a few clutches. I love this blue velvet one with rhinestone clasp. It\u2019s so simple in its classic deco design.<\/h4>\n

But nothing says deco more than a circular geometric design. This striking little black and white beaded clutch was a real find:<\/h4>\n\n\t\t
