Each week Gem features one standout piece from a local shop. Whether it's a jacket, necklace, or handbag, it's on our have-to-have list.

What: This vintage canvas shoulder bag is just one of many fun accessory finds at Metro Retro in the Melrose district of downtown Phoenix. The seemingly plastic tortoise snap closure makes the would-be granny bag a little younger and weirder -- a mix of borderline ironic whimsy combined with unexpected, harder details.

We could see a Chloe Sevigny-type toting this around during a casual day out or to a small garden party in spring.

Where: Metro Retro

Cost: $25

Style this gem after the jump.

Style It: Since you probably don't want to wait for spring to tote this gem, here's an easy way to carry it in winter: Super casually with dotted Wolford tights, platform loafers, and splashes of color in a lavender cardi, canary yellow studs, and teal fingerless biker gloves.
