Enid Collins Box Bag Collection
Fashion icon, folk artist, entrepreneur -- Enid Collins was all of these and more. This online sampler shares some of the vintage Collins box purses in my Finding Enid with LOVE physical collection, which currently numbers over one thousand objects. It covers Enid's most active professional years as head designer and co-owner of Collins of Texas, a period from post-World War II to the early 1970s.
Like the physical collection, this online archive is a work in progress. I am always seeking Enid Collins artworks, as well as information on her work, life and the many people who have made and worn her bags. If you have artworks, documents, or just a memory you’d like to share, or if you’d like help identifying or refreshing your own bag, please get in touch. Meanwhile, enjoy exploring the collection!
