Meet the Posher

Hey, I’m Elizabeth – an artist, storyteller, and lifelong collector of soulful things. I restore vintage and pre-loved handbags—not just to resell them, but to honor the hands that made them and the lives they’ve touched. I don’t choose bags based on trends or eras. I choose the ones that speak to me—the ones with character, mystery, or a little spark of magic. When I clean or repair a purse, I think about the original maker—their craftsmanship, their choices—and I imagine who carried it before. I want that history to live on. So when you pick out a bag here, you’re not just buying a style—you’re continuing a story. Maybe it started in the 1940s. Maybe the early 2000s. But my hope is that it has another 80 years of life ahead. Each piece is styled with love—vintage scarves, brooches, and silk ties I’ve repurposed into wraps or handles. I also use upcycled fabric to make custom dust bags, so every purse has the care it deserves—and the protection it needs to live on. This shop is a reflection of me: creative, intuitive, a little imperfect, and always evolving. Thanks for being here.
