Vintage 1963 Artistic Tan and Gold Handbag-Enid Collins Money Tree

Unique tan handbag with artistic gold accents. Features a creative design with a bird and tree motif. The item is a vintage "Money Tree" box purse by Enid Collins, popular in the 1960s. It is handmade of wood and hand-painted with a "Money Tree" design, featuring a bird adorned with an orange jewel and gold coins. Enid Collins was known for these "conversation starter" wooden purses, embellished with jewels and epigrams. The box bag design was innovative and simple, costing $10 in 1963. These bags, while fun and unique, were considered "gaudy" by some, which is why many are found in excellent condition today. The "Money Tree" series, like this one, is a sought-after design among collectors
