I had a mesh clutch bag. I thought it was beautiful and used it as my evening bag when I went out. It disappeared years ago.

Still have one that I got for my ??th birthday, still in perfect condition 58 years on.

OMG - I had the whole lot back in the days - purse, handbag, earrings, drape neck lace & necktie, belt, mini dress & a skirt plus a halter top. I even embellished a pair of stilettos back then. GOD, I wish I had kept them instead of doing an "out with the old, in with the new" spring cleaning 30 odd years ago.

Sparkling girl! Hopefully you have photos of yourself wearing them.

Oroton was the brand. Back in the 1970s, a mate's mum had heaps of this stuff. She thought she was the bee's knees.

More like the ant's ankles....

When I turned 21 many years ago, I stupidly smoked and my girlfriend's all clubbed together and bought me the cigarette case in gold mesh. I thought I was the so cool.

I still have and use my cig case. Not for Smokes though..it's my secret "kitty" case. The purse I still have is the coin purse.

Nope, hated having my picture taken (still do). I only had 3 photos taken of our wedding with me in it. Sad now, as I only have about a dozen photos of us together since we met back in 1986, as he is no longer with me on earth.

I’ve never liked having my photo taken either. At least you can cherish the pics you have together.
