How fabulous is this handbag! It is worth going out to buy a whole outfit just to match this handbag. Every thing about it is exquisite. The pewter grey leather, the shiny elegant gilt frame and clasp, the slim rolled leather handles, not to mention the delicate oyster silk lining and the adorable little matching coin purse. The handbag is in superb condition. It has obviously only been used for special occasions and been lovingly cared for. It came with what we assume is the original tissue, protecting the lining. The exterior leather is in excellent condition with just one very minor ding to the front, other than that, no wear to the corners, handles or clasp. The lining is the quality we have come to expect from Waldybag, with the beautiful silk satin lining covering pockets which are edged in gold. It is easy to see why these handbags were a favourite of royalty, both here and abroad.
This is a beautiful handbag, slim, elegant and understated. It would be perfect for any smart occasion, wedding, Christening or garden party where a really fabulous outfit is called for. It would be especially suitable for mother of the bride/groom as it's most unlikely there will be another guest with this level of style and originality and after the bride, the mothers are the most important and high profile there. Snap it up because we don't think we'll find another like this, especially in such great condition. Perfect gift for her.
