Handbags

Milan, late 1980s: paisley patterns unfurled across bolts of canvas in the Etro workrooms on Via Spartaco, as the signature motif came into its own. This structured top-handle bag captures that moment—the dark brown coated canvas woven with subtle red and green paisley, accented by smooth leather trim and substantial silver-tone hardware. The engraved Pegasus and ETRO name adorn the clasp, while the top handle is secured by sculpted silver mounts. The silhouette is architectural, with a firm base and tailored corners. A single silver-tone clasp secures the front flap; inside, a beige fabric lining reveals one zippered pocket and two open compartments for essentials. The coated canvas exterior is exceptionally well preserved, showing only minimal wear on the edges. Peeling and coating delamination are present on the inside, typical of vintage Etro linings from this era. The interior leather label bears the classic serif “ETRO MILANO MADE IN ITALY” beneath the Pegasus, a detail introduced after the house launched its paisley-printed goods in 1984. The result is a bag that embodies the brand’s roots in textile innovation and print—unmistakably Etro, unmistakably late 1980s. Era: Late 1980s–Early 1990s. Condition: Very Good — minimal edge wear on the exterior; peeling and coating delamination on the interior lining. Material: Paisley-coated canvas with dark brown leather trim, silver-tone hardware. Color: Dark brown exterior with subtle red and green paisley; beige fabric lining; silver-tone clasp and handles. Dimensions: W 30 × H 23.5 × D 8 cm. Serial: 90-3602034. Made in: Italy.
