Last fall, the vintage handbag and accessory e-tailer LXR & Co. opened a pop-up shop in Soho that was apparently such a hit, they decided to make it over and reopen as a permanent store. The shop, at 112 Wooster Street, carries vintage bags, jewelry, and other accessories from big-league fashion houses like Balenciaga, Chanel, Céline and Hermès. In fact, there's an entire wall in the back of the shop dedicated to the latter called the Birkin Bar.

At this week's launch, artist handpained Louis Vuitton trunks and Chanel bags from artist Mike Frederiqo were also on display. Check those out, as well as a ton of gorgeous bags, after the jump.
