Old Skool

One of the great things about coming back to Melbourne is the incredible amount of stuff out there; plenty of Australian and, in particular, Melbourne designers, painters, artists, artisans, craftspeople bringing their incredibly stylish, creative imaginings into being.

This bag below caught my eye.  It's from the Spring/Summer 09 range of Melbourne outfit, Nancybird.  Teal - check.  Old-style vintage print - check.  Retro bicycle - check. Vintage-looking camisole - check. Fresh-faced model with a high swinging ponytail - check. Summery vibes galore - check.

Hmm.

Perhaps it's not just the bag but the whole image which I find so appealing.
