Black Waldybag purse with gold Metal Frame Closure

This well preserved leather and seude handbag from the 1940’s/1950’s has elegant gold closure and hinges. Perfect for an evening out or special occasion. These handbags were popular with the British royal family. Known as 'Waldybags', they were in complete contrast to the special shoulder bags designed to carry personal gas masks (compulsory in Britain throughout 1939-1945) that Wald & Co. had made during the War.
