vintage,coach,bags Vintage Coach Murphy's Willis bag with the difficult-to-find silver tone nickel hardware. The Murphy's Willis is built like the Willis bag, with the dowl rod at the top and the horse- shoe like brackets for the shoulder strap. But, it is a smaller, more narrow bag and it doesn't have a top handle. This bag is soft, smooth black leather, with a full outside pocket on the back, a full outside pocket on the front under the flap, and a removable, adjustible shoulder strap with a 26" drop. There's a zippered pocket on the inside, with the Coach creed on the pocket and the bag number, J80-9930. Hang tag attached. Bag is self-lined with its own suede. 7" wide by 9" high by 3" deep. Absolutely, positively mint condition. Never carried.
Murphy's Willis Bag Vintage Black Coach MINT!

vintage,skins,bags Bass used to produce very high-end, luxury handbags, and this bag is definitely from that period. It is a hard-sided, rather large, rectangular box handbag from the 1970s, I think. It has a alligator skins-wrapped metal frame that opens right down to the base, with brass corner guards and snap closure. The interior is rosy-rust colored kid leather, with four interior pockets, one with a metal zipper and three with gold piping trim. The matching coin purse with kiss clasp is attached with gold cording. The handle is alligator with brown leather lining, and it has a 6" drop. The bag measures 9 3/8" wide at the base, by 9 5/8" wide at the top, by 5 1/4" high, by 3 1/2" deep. This vintage Bass alligator handbag is in excellent vintage condition. The skins are in great shape, with no lifting or cracking in the scales. (Marked down from $120.00.)
Luxury Interior Vintage Bass Alligator Box Bag

vintage,pebbled,bags This bag looks like, and is same the quality as, a Saber bag, but there's no label. So, I can't say for sure. The richly printed lining is rayon and silk, not cotton. Open-wide metal frame has faux studs. Metal chain handle has a 6" drop. Decorative applique leather strip on the front of the bag, plus an interesting cutout pull tab. Large kiss clasp. Reinforced base. 9 1/2" wide at the base, by 8" high, by 2" deep. Absolutely mint, never carried. So much fun!
Deep Red Pebbled Leather Pouch Vintage or Retro

vintage,handbags,bag Bellestone faux alligator (but real, high gloss, alligator imprinted leather) kelly bag in mint condition. As you probably know, Bellestone was one of the best makers of alligator handbags, so it stands to reason that they would know how to make leather really look like alligator--and this does! Lined in off-white leatherette, with three pockets, two with matching piping. Clearly marked "Bellestone." Four little brass feet. Twist clasp. Nicely contoured handle with a 3" drop. Bag measures 8 1/2" wide by 5 1/2" high by 4" deep, with generous side gussets NOT extended. Again, absolutely mint, never carried condition.
