Inspiration: framing vintage bags

I have a few bags that I especially treasure but they aren't the normal ones you'd bring to work... or the ones you take to the races even... they're the type you want to display... maybe to a summer wedding or the opera.

I have one of my favourites propped up on my "dressing table/cabinet" but would love to frame it up ala Unabashed Repetition.





What I like about this is that in no way is the bag pricked by mounting pins.. or anything. A couple of superstrong magnets, shadowbox and pretty paper.

I'd love to do this with my bags. Pity the Ribba frames aren't deep enough... (and pity I have enough stuff hanging on my walls. Husband and I counted 75 items... and growing rapidly.)

Still. A project to keep in mind! Thanks for the inspiration!

I thought I'd showcase some talented bag makers on Etsy:
