Instead of the Prada Striped Pochette, Go for a Handpainted Vivien Cheng Bag

As a passionate collector of vintage with a crafty streak, London-based designer Vivien Cheng purchased 21 items of clothing, revamped them, and posted about it on her blog, 21 Dresses. Clothing soon led to accessories, and she started reviving vintage bags with handpainted motifs. This gorgous number touches on the same spirit of the Prada, but is one-of-a-kind and represents the best of fashion made with passion. Purchasing info at VivienCheng.com.
