7 Beautiful Kiss-Lock Bags and Wallets ...

There are so many thing I love about vintage handbags - the styling, the quality, the little details. It seems that most new bags just don’t have the same charming details as vintage bags, but lately I’ve been seeing some that do have my favorite detail, the kiss-lock close. Aren’t those cute? I sure think so, so I’ve been delighted to see so many of them at one of my favorite fashion sites, ModCloth. Here are 7 kiss-lock bags and wallets.

1. A Hug and a Kisslock Bag

A Hug and a Kisslock Bag Price: $29.99 at modcloth.com
This little bag is all details, from its rich plum hue to its sweet kiss-lock closure and other hardware in silver-tone metal. There’s a handle at the top, or a detachable shoulder strap, for versatility. I’d wear this with an LBD and an armload of silver bangles.

2. The Networker Bag

The Networker Bag Price: $237.99 at modcloth.com
What a gorgeous shoulder bag, with not one but two handle options. The first is a detachable tortoiseshell chain (which matches the kiss-lock closure) and the second is a sleek, skinny leather strap (to match the bag). Both are beautiful, though I prefer the tortoiseshell one. Wouldn’t this look pretty with a vintage floral print dress and smart heels?

3. Fairytale Romance Bag

Fairytale Romance Bag Price: $52.99 at modcloth.com
Add a hint of romance to any menswear-inspired ensemble, or to an LBD, with this sweet little floral-print faux leather bag. Sling it over one shoulder with the detachable chain strap, or carry it by the top handle. Note the subtle glint of copper woven through, so be careful with your other accessories.

4. Tumbleweed Wallet

Tumbleweed Wallet Price: $17.99 at modcloth.com
This wallet reminds me of the blanket my mother brought me from Mexico when I was little, with the same gorgeous print, all in cinnamon hues. It’s made of super-soft faux leather, with a silver-tone frame and kiss-lock closure. Keep all of your necessities tidy in its card slot and zippered coin pouch.

5. Place to Call Home Bag

Place to Call Home Bag Price: $69.99 at modcloth.com
If you only buy one new bag this year, let it be this one. It’s so unique, so gorgeous! One side features one tin bird on soft faux leather, the other is made of canvas with a lush floral print and a sleek blue velvet bow. Along the top is a shiny gold-tone kiss-lock closure. I’d wear this with skinny jeans, a ruffled white blouse, and black lace-up boots. So pretty!

6. Vintage SWAKisslock

Vintage SWAKisslock Price: $39.99 at modcloth.com
This vintage brown bag, circa 1960, is what I imagine my grandmother carried when she ran her errands around town. I adore the deep brown leather, and the carry handle (which I imagine my grandmother wearing over her arm), and of course, the kiss-lock closure.

7. Vintage XO Kisslock Purse

Vintage XO Kisslock Purse Price: $39.99 at modcloth.com
This is the sort of bag I’m always searching for at the thrift stores, a tiny, sparkling gem, all glitter and glamour and romance. It’s so richly, sweetly detailed, from the careful beading to the rhinestones in each of the balls of the kiss-lock closure and the sleek gold-tone chain handle. I’d wear this with any of my favorite summertime frocks.

Those are my favorite new bags, and I can’t wait to add that floral-print one to my shopping cart! There are so many reasons I love it, and so many things I would wear it with! Which of these pretty kiss-locks bags do you like best?
