Historical Note

Department store leather handbags, woven straw totes, and fashion accessories from the 1970s through early 2000s remain popular for their quality craftsmanship and timeless styling. Meier & Frank, founded in Portland, Oregon in 1857, became one of the Pacific Northwest's premier department stores and often sold well-made leather accessories under its exclusive branding. Vintage leather handbags and woven market totes continue to be sought after for sustainable fashion, everyday practicality, and classic design.
