This vintage purse from the 1940's era is absolutely stunning! It is made of black wool felt material over leather on the outside, and the inside is made of leather with a clear plastic-like material over the inner zipper pocket and divider (as shown in pics).
This beautiful bag has gold toned metal across the top and has an oval metal clasp in the center that you push back to open. The gold toned piece on top has some fading, so please look closely at the pictures The sides are hinged and there is a zippered pocket on the inside. There are two short straps attached, so this bag would be easiest to be worn over your forearm or by holding the straps and using it more like a handbag.
The flowers, leaves, gems and beaded embellishments on the front of this vintage purse are incredible! The floral motif has black jewels along the top, black, silver ,and gold beading and flowers and leaves seen on top. There is gorgeous black beadwork underneath the floral section on the front as well.
I cannot see any tags in this purse, so I'm not sure of the brand. This piece is from the 40's and is in great condition for it's age. There are small spots on the front and back corner edges where the wool felt has rubbed off, and these are shown up close in the photos. The only other visible signs of wear/age are some slight rubbing on the undersides of the straps where the felt has thinned from being carried.
