Fellas: next time a vintage car show rolls through town, don’t just go with the boys—take the missus, too! Slip a pair of tickets into one of these custom-made cosmetic bags (they can double as a teensy handbag) and let the attached tag do the rest. But how will a handbag get your gal interested in cars? Simple: each Kim White bag is made from vintage automotive fabric, and the details—year, maker—are handwritten on the tag. This one’s from a 1976 Chevy Monza, a car I know next to nothing about, except that evidently the interior on some models was a gorgeous, playful mixture of maroon, pink and cherry cough drop red. And now? It’s mine. And I can’t wait to own—I mean see—more.
