Etsy: These Bags Are, in a Word, Awesome

While painted bags can sometimes skew a little too craftsy-folksy or "I need to find my animal spirit before the trek to Burning Man," Vivien Cheng's intricate, vintage styles manage to be sleek, stylish and just plain cool-looking.

I love the laid-back elegance of them, the way they feel utterly original and urban and would look amazing with a pair of jeans, a white button-down and maybe some loafers. Too specific? How about across your chest with a poet-y black dress,

tweedy tights and riding boots? Or with a blazer, a shimmery tank, those slightly scary pleated pants(rolled up a bit) and booties? Ooh. The possibilities are endless!
