vintage,corde,bags Charming! I've never seen a Corde bag in such perfect condition. Deep navy blue with an elaborate petal pattern on the front of the bag, a geometric diamond pattern on the back. Even the sides base and handle are corded. The tulip shape of the bag follows the shape of the leaf pattern on the bag. Inside, the bag is lined with matching satin. The center section closes with a metal zipper, with a deep pocket on either side. The bag measures 12" wide at the top of the bag, 9 1/2" wide at the base, by 7" high, by 2" deep.

Prettiest Victorian Coin Purse We've Ever Had

vintage,handbags Great bag! Now, notice. This is NOT a small evening bag, although you could use it that way. This Whiting and Davis bag was intended as a daytime bag, at 9" wide at the base by 8" high. The celluloid chain has a 5" drop. Fun and rather dramatic celluloid frame is made of art deco stepped cylindars. The lining is navy blue faille, with one pocket. Excellent vintage condition. One link of the chain was replaced with a brass link. No missing tiles. (Marked down from $60.00.)

antique,beaded,bags Bright cobalt blue beads with pearls on this small antique evening bag or clutch. (See the Wikipedia color chart, if you'd like to be sure we match.) Embroidered fabric label says, "Made in France / Hand Made." Snap closure. Pearl pattern continues on the back of the clutch. Hand loop or strap on back, too. Lined with blue silk faille. Lining is perfect. A few pearls have lost their luster, but the bag is missing NO beads or pearls. The blue is amazingly vivid. Measurements are 5 1/2" wide at the base, by 4 1/4" wide at the top, by 3 1/4" high, by 1 1/2" deep with the side gussets extended. Nearly mint!
