This is an elegant white patent 50s 60s vintage handbag, in excellent but not pristine condition from a top end brand Waldybag (our favourite!). Waldybags were sold through the best department stores such as Harrods, Selfridges etc and worn by royalty such is the quality. This one is a very classy looking handbag which is an unusual design with the stitched detail to the front and gorgeous clasp. It has a patent leather back, front and base with matching white leather to the side gussets and handles. The gilt clasp is very pretty and decorative which takes this handbag out of the ordinary into the 'bit special' category. The handbag is not quite pristine but in excellent condition which is rare as white handbags tend to show age and use much more than darker colours. It looks as though it hasn't been used very much. The patent to the front is not as glossy as it would have been when new but still looks lovely with minimal abrasions or scratches, tslight pinky smudge( see photos) the elegant clasp is still shiny with minimal loss of gilt and no tarnish and the handles are largely uncreased. The ivory silk lining is in clean condition with little evidence of use. The Waldybag label is fixed to the lining and there are the usual zipped and slip pockets.
This is a lovely handbag, in rare white patent, in a great size and from high end Waldybag, it looks quality and would add a stylish touch to any 'occasion' outfit. It would be perfect for weddings, garden parties and the races but would also become a mainstream wardrobe staple for all Spring and Summer wear, especially to accessorise floral dresses whether brights or pastels, formal or casual.
It is 10.5" x 8" x 3"
