This is a beautiful vintage Waldybag handbag in Jackie O flap over style with large gilt clasp. It is a striking and elegant handbag of excellent quality made from the finest calf leather and patent leather with a silk lining with matching coin purse. It is also in virtually pristine condition, looks unused, with minimal evidence of use or age related wear. The exterior leather is pristine and has no marks or scuffs to front or back, there are five tiny spots to the handle with a loss of the surface colour, not visible when the bag is carried (please see photos). The handle is firm and strong, looks unused. The gilt clasp is absolutely stunning but with some loss of shine/discolouration of the gilt, not too noticeable except on close inspection (please see photos) but no tarnish or scratches. Underneath the clasp a strip of beige patent leather is visible, a nice feature of the handbag and a sign of quality and attention to detail. The base and side gussets are immaculate too with no evidence of wear or age. The inside of the handbag does not disappoint either. It is in oyster/light taupe silk with the usual array of pockets and the Waldybag name embossed in gilt above the slip pockets. There is a matching small silk coin purse. The purse is in pristine condition. There is also the original mirror in its waxed paper sleeve and the original swing ticket is still with the handbag.
