The distressed finish adds character to the bag. The bag has an inner pocket for easy storage and organization, making it perfect for everyday use. The tie accents and hippie theme give the bag a touch of personality, while the fabric lining ensures durability. This medium-sized bag is perfect for both men and women, and it is a great addition to any collection. Carlos Falchi was born in Minas Gerias, Brazil and got his start as a handbag designer at the age of 6 when he made handbags for his cousin. He moved to the United States and worked nights at a Manhattan bar and would wear his own clothing designs, which the patrons noticed and wanted! Carlos continued to design and experiment and, in 1974, he came out with his Buffalo duffel bag and it was an immediate hit. The 1970's embraced his relaxed ( and futuristic) vision of the handbag. These bags were secure, soft, and in non-traditional colors but were big enough to carry everything that you needed. In 1983 Carlos won the prestigious Coty Award for design and his bags were almost instantaneously copied. His handbag philosophy can best be summed up by a quote 'I want to be able to squash and trash a bag and still see it keep going.' -Falchi I purchased this bag in the 90s on eBay. Loved it! It's time to pass it on to another Carlos Falchi lover! All vintage items are sold "as is". Please examine the photos and ask me any questions you may have before you bid or buy.
