Making a 1940's Plasticflex Handbag in 2023 ✨

The company that first made Plasticflex handbags closed in 1960, so does that make this the first plastic tile handbag made in over 60 years? Probably not, but maybe! Today I'm diving into a bag of 3D printed resin tiles to do a little time travel... Kristina and Tim have uploaded the tile here if you would like to 3D print you're own set of tiles https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-plasticflex-reproduction-tiles-311227 You can visit their etsy shop here : https://www.etsy.com/shop/Freyjas3DPrints?page=3#items where they could potentially be convinced to print you some tiles on a custom order basis ✨ The history of Plasticflex at The Vintage Purse Gallery : https://vintagepursegallery.blogspot.com/2020/11/special-post-plasticflex-handbags-r.html The original patent: https://patents.google.com/patent/US2256645A/en?inventor=Florence+Kuhlman This project was not sponsored, but Kristina and Tim are SUPER AWESOME and sent me the tiles to work with.
