This is a most dainty and elegant little vintage crocodile handbag, one of the cutest we've had in stock. It is in a dainty design in a rich brown crocodile skin which is in excellent condition. It is in a slightly rounded shape, enhanced by the crocodile skin pull tab. The skins to the handbag are still very glossy and supple with no splits, cracking or scuffs. The handle is firm and intact and again has no splits or cracks with the added advantage that it is slightly longer than usual and quite flexible so will fit nicely over the shoulder if wished. The clasp works well and in our opinion is a real feature of the handbag, a very pretty and unusual shape (not quite a fleur de lis) which is further enhanced by the 'split coffee bean' looking handle fixings. The gilt frame is in in excellent condition and in a lovely deep dark gilt colour. The handbag is lined in a beige leather with a zipped pocket and crocodile edged slip pockets. The lining is clean but it does have scuffs and indentations to the leather and some loss of colour from use but no nasty marks or stains. It has obviously been used but very well looked after. We suspect the handbag may have been made by Riviera as it bears some of the hallmarks of the brand but we cannot be sure.
A gorgeous, high end handbag of excellent quality and in lovely condition, with excellent crocodile skin but some evidence of use to the lining. It oozes class and 'old money' and could be worn anywhere a smart handbag is required and would give any designer bag du jour a run for it's money! Perfect vintage handbag for the mother of the bride, visits to Buckingham Palace (birthday honours list ??), or to add individuality to a sober little suit for the boardroom. It's also perfect for the races, or for Goodwood Revival to add a touch of authenticity to your outfit.
Perfect for a gift for her.
It is 9" x 7" x 3"
