A Note From Kathleen
It is important to remember that these vintage book purses are old and in as-found condition. I clean, repair and preserve the book covers but some have minor wear and tear that will still be visible. All book spines have been triple-reinforced with archival linen book tape, and new book board has been added for longevity. Leather has been waterproofed, fabric covers have been treated with Scotchgard® and paper litho boards have been triple-coated to prevent water damage. All vintage book purses come with a vintage button as a simple loop closure. Each book purse has either one or two interior pockets for credit cards and licenses, depending on the size of the book. I designed your vintage book purse so that the fabric lining holds all the weight distribution, so you really can use your book purse.
