texture and light | vintage metallic purse

I wanted to give real estate to yet another one the amazing accessories from Nana's collection. Also pondering what drew me to take the photo...the late afternoon sun shining into the room for those few moments and the beauty it brought to the texture and reflective quality of this purse. What could someone add to a room in order to consistently experience a similar interplay between surface and light? Perhaps a piece of dangling metalwork installed as sculpture or a functional object made of chrome or copper?

vintage carlos falchi purse

Is style learned? How much of how we see and what we like has to do with the people who raised us? During a recent visit to my grandmother's home, she gave us one of those rare and wonderful tours of what's lurking in the depths of her closets. Sometimes (if we're good) there's a treat waiting for one of us. But Nana knows to hold on to the good stuff....like this amazing Carlos Falchi purse, which looks to be from the late 70's or early 80's. It's to-die-for and reminds me that yes...style doesn't just spring up out of the blue. It's taught, handed down, borrowed (no-give-backs), and cherished.
