Lot #94: Amore Bags 'Being a Girl' Refurbished Vintage Doctor's Bag

Amore Bags 'Being a Girl' Refurbished Vintage Doctor's Bag. This is directly from the designer so condition reflects the vintage nature of the bag. Please view all pictures. It happened completely by chance. Michelle Zerillo-Sosa, one of the creative minds behind the luxury publication Dolce Magazine, was cycling through town when she rolled passed a garage sale. Something caught her eye — and down she fell. The stumble, however, didn’t hold her back from crossing the yard and approaching the object. It was a vintage doctor’s bag. Worn, torn and kissed by age, the piece seemed to whisper to her stories of the lifesaver that once carried this bag from appointment to appointment, from house call to house call. Michelle brought the bag home and let her imagination run wild. After a few hours with a spray paint can and some leather primer, the bag still shone with antique memories — but it was refurbished and reimagined with splashes of colour. It wasn’t long after that Michelle sat down with fashion icon Sylvia Mantella, who laid eyes on the revamped treasures and fell, quite like Michelle, head over heels for the concept. This was when Amore Bags was born. Pickup category timeslot {A}
