"The Roaring 20s"

The 1920s presented a time of extravagance and exploitation of wealth after the dim economy at the end of World War I. The world wanted to enjoy life rather than stress about it. Many did so through an abundance of high fashion clothes, nice cars, and big houses. A movement of flappers sweeped the nation as rebellious women who cut their hair, wore short dresses, and went to bars. These fun loving women set the mode of 20s fashion and are the icons in fashion history!


This purse belonged to my great grandmother Laura Coleman. The painted, metal, mesh suggests that it was from the 20s.



P.S. I miss the snow....
