Big Black & Gold Checkerboard Purse: Unique!

Collectibles : Ladies' Accessory : Handbag

 

This spiffy-looking shoulder-strap purse will garner many admiring glances! The body measures approx. 9" high x 7 1/2" across the base x 5" across the sides. The shoulder straps are braided and that sort of detailing is also featured around the top of the purse and along each side.

Purse is unsigned, but there is a U.S. patent number on the clip underneath the tongue at the top. The inside is lined in unripped black fabric and there is a zippered pocket. This accessory looks very much indeed like leather, but my instincts tell me it's probably faux leather. There is a little scratch at the bottom (Please see last photo.), otherwise this one's in excellent vintage condition. Probably c. the 1980s or so.
