This vintage handbag is absolutely charming and bang on trend for the current revival in the fashion for exotic skins. It is in a beige/brown snakeskin effect faux leather (the nearest correct colour is in the last photo) which is very supple and forms softly gathered sides to the handbag. There are open outside pockets and a dainty little gilt clasp. It is in excellent condition with no major issues at all. There is slight fading of the colour towards the base and the inside is a little tired but that's about it for issues, there are no scuffs or scratches to the fabric. There is ample room for bits and pieces in the outside pockets. The inside of the handbag is lined in a pinky beige silky fabric which is clean apart from one watermark or spill,( please see photos). The gilt frame and clasp are unscratched and free of tarnish. There is no brand label but the frame is marked with the LBF logo so fair to assume it is made in Britain. It is not a high end handbag and not leather but a great looking bag of immense charm.
A great period piece, in excellent condition and a good size, it is very attractive, eminently wearable and on trend for the current fashion for reptile skin bags and at a price that means you needn't be too precious about it. It would actually be smart enough to wear to formal occasions if wished to complement an outfit, as well as more casual events.
It is 11" x 6.5" x 3"
