Rather large (for an evening bag) Bobbie Jerome silver leather
bag with a very wide, beautifully embossed ivy-in-circles frame.
Fancy gold chain has a 7" drop. Kiss clasp. Textured, silver
leather is very flexible, so it is gathered to the metal frame.
Lined with very pale pink satin, with two pockets, clearly marked
"Bobbie Jerome." Bag measures 8 1/4" wide at the base, 5 1/2"
wide at the top, by 7" high, by 3" deep, with very generous side
gussets. Absolutely mint, never carried. You'll be happy!

The perfect bag for spring! I've matched this shade with the
greens in the Wilkipedia, and it is a very pale shade of
camouflage green. The label says, "Chelas Carteras," and there's
another label down near the inside base that says, "VACA," plus
lots more letters and numbers. Whatever!
This is an exquisite handbag. The high, rigid handle is
marbleized tortoise shell Lucite and has a 5 1/2" drop. The
leather is pearlized patent leather, and the lining is pigskin.
There's a center divider, one zippered pocket, two open pockets,
and a lipstick pocket, all trimmed with matching green piping.
The original mirror is in one pocket. Outside, matching piping
is at the seams, top stitching, and rivets at the back of the
flap. The bag measures 7 1/2" wide at the base, by 6" high, by
3 3/4" deep. Absolutely mint, never carried.

Blue cotton clutch designed after Andy Warhol's painting of his
cat, Sam. The front of the purse has Sam''s front, the back,
his back. I've left the purse in the sealed bag. I know if you
are a collector, that matters. The purses (there are several in
a series) were manufactured by an Oakland, California company,
MerryMakers. The bag opens with a zipper at the top, Sam's back.
10" long by 4 1/2" high. Nicely padded. VERY classy summer
clutch! Mint in bag, of course.

I don't know what Halston did to this suede. It is sort of
sculpted with thousands of tiny indentations--and lots of
variation in colors goes along with that. The leather is
smooth, supple, creamy tan, with "HALSTON" deeply embossed
into the leather at the top of the handle. The shoulder strap
is leather, with a 16" drop, mounted on hooks so it is completely
removeable. The bag is lined with rust-colored nylon knit, and
has three huge zippered pockets. The big HALSTON label is
inside. The closure is tab and snap. The base is doubly
reinforced. The bag measures 13" wide by 12 1/2" high by
3 1/2" deep. Mint condition.
