Each spring the Merchandise Mart in Chicago hosts the International Antiques Fair, and since I work just down the street I decided to check it out yesterday. The showroom was full of booths displaying ancient Chinese pottery, stunning silverware, ornate wooden furniture, 17th-century portraits and more. But what drew my attention the most were the beautiful antique bags at the Nula Thanhauser booth. One can only imagine the list of previous owners of these purses, but judging by the detail and elegance of these lavish bags, I’m sure it’s an impressive roster. Nula Thanhauser is based in Philadelphia but travels to antique shows frequently, so make sure to stop by her booth when she’s in your area!
