Skinny Tote Timeline
1967-1973
In the 60s and moving into the 70s, this variation bore Bonnie's colorful Mexican striped lining. This lining transitioned to solid black just before the design was changed in 1974.
1974-1975
Unlike the previous variation, this version with short squared handles was produced without a lining.
1976-1986
This version, still unlined, was produced with straps that could be worn on the shoulder. Initially, the kisslock frame on this design was metal, but in 1977 they began covering the frame in leather. The metal frame variation is style #9545 while the leather colored frame variation is style #9546.
