Broken Warhol Handbag Woes
/Years ago I discovered a brilliant handbag I had to have in a local charity shop. It was a shoulder handbag with a bright & cheery painting by numbers design, which turned out to be an Andy Warhol print.
I totally loved it and used it as my main bag for a good year, until one of the plastic straps broke. I couldn't bear go throw it out and I headed straight to eBay to try and get a replacement. But there weren't any for sale. So I saved the search, and five years or so later STILL not even once has the bag been up for auction or sale.
That's the print, but I can't even find a picture of the bag I owned, let alone find a replacement one to buy.
The brand that has turned Warhol's classic prints into bags, phone cases and Mac sleeves is UK company Incase.
As of today they only have one Warhol item in store, a phone case, but a quick search on eBay and you can bid on lots of different Incase bits and pieces. Prices are around £20 for Mac cases.
My painting by numbers Warhol eBay search remains, but if anyone ever sees these bags on sale in a store, please tell me!
