Hand-Painted "Safari" 1960s Artist Up-Cycled Dark Blue Leather Top-Handle Bag
About the Item
Eye-catching "Don't be like the rest of them, Darling." up-cycled hand-painted 1960s vintage handbag by Lilli Grill.
Talented Munich-based illustrator Ursula Baur alias Lilli Grill is the first artist I am happy to work together on this project. This handbag is number two of five one-of-a-kind handbags embellished by her. Love her imaginative and expressive fashion-savy illustration art.
Lilli Grill designed the playful illustrations according to the shape, style and colour of this unique 1960s midnight blue leather handbag and painted them by hand with acrylic paint onto both outsides.
The “Safari“ named artwork features a pair of green eyes behind oversized white and black spotted sunglasses on the front side and the word "SAFARI" with a palm-shaped "I" painted white and grass-green on the back side.
Rigid frame design. Double-layered soft top handle. One compartment including three slit pockets, one holding the original pocket mirror. Night blue satin lining with the slit pockets edged in silver. Silver tone metal push lock closure. Marked "GB" inside.
Excellent vintage condition.

- MOSCHINO Redwall Drum Novelty Top Handle Bag, late 1980s/early 1990sBy MoschinoLocated in Munich, DEEarly Moschino pieces designed by Franco Moschino himself – often referred to as Italian fashion's "enfant terrible" – within the short period when he launched the House of Moschino in 1983 until he passed away in 1994 are sought after and highly collectible. This treasure, like several others that are available at the Oh! Jackie storefront, comes direct from a German socialite and fashion collector so has not been on the market prior to this. This rare late 1980s/early 1990s MOSCHINO novelty bag is a wonderful example of Franco Moschino's fanciful designs and captures the fun vibe that Moschino has always represented as a brand. The design looks like a typical harlequin drum with its triangles in red, navy, yellow, green and cream leather and the red cord embellishment at the top and the bottom. It features a golden leather top handle, a cream top...Category
