This is a gorgeous slim and dainty reptile skin clutch bag which we believe to be alligator. It comes with an optional gilt snake chain which can be clipped inside to be worn as a shoulder bag if required. The clutch bag is in immaculate condition with excellent supple skin with no splits or cracks or wear to corners. The skin is on the front and back of the handbag and on the side gussets and base too. There is just the odd mark or smudge on the exterior but barely noticeable the skin is still glossy with no scratches or abrasions. The inside is lined in a chocolate brown pigskin finish suede and grosgrain which is immaculate with no marks or stains. There is a metal label fixed to the suede lining with the words 'Hispania Ubrique' which is evidence it was made in Spain. There is also a reptile shaped motif embossed in gilt on the suede lining.
This is a gorgeous little clutch, it is not terribly old, dating from the 70s and not terribly high end, it would have been department store rather than designer but it is lovely quality in a gorgeous rich colour in almost mint condition and what would have been department store in the 70s would now be high end. If one tried to buy a reptile skin clutch bag now in a department store and could actually find one, the cost would be well into four figures. So, an elegant little clutch in a classic shape, in a versatile colour which is perfect for weddings, garden parties or for evening wear. It could even be worn with jeans for a dressed down look. Perfect gift.
It is 10" x 4.5" x 2"
