Wilardy Butterscotch Vintage Lucite Box Purse

✨🤍🥂 Welcome to my Posh Vintage Goods 🥂🤍✨ Item: Antique Wilardy Vintage Lucite Box Purse Brief History of the Company: Wilardy Originals began in 1946 as Handbag Specialties, a collaboration between Charles William Hardy, and William Hammond Hardy. The original offices and factory were in New York, and moved to Union City, New Jersey in 1953. Will Hardy took over the business in the 1960s, and continued designing and manufacturing into the early 1980s. Most of these Box and various shape lucite purses were manufactured between 1946-1980. During this period Will designed lucite handbags, lighting fixtures for Dinico, lucite bathroom fixtures, elegant containers for Atlantic Can, also a chest of drawers for Jacqueline Kennedy, chandeliers for the White House, jewelry, tableware for the Grainware Company, and even clothing. These lucite purses were being sold in Hollywood, Miami, Paris, London, and Fifth Avenue in New York. These last few decades have shown a renewed interest in the Wilardy handbags, as they become sought-after collectibles. This particular item is the classic box style, in the lucite color way called ‘Butterscotch’, featuring an amber grain pattern, beautiful gold details, and an interior mirror.
