A picture says a thousand words...so I am not going to be verbose about this rare and unusual huge bag from the 1940's-1950's...just examine the pictures yourself. Straight out of a film noir movie from this era, these purses were carried by the crook of one's shoulder and indicated (In the movie) that the lady was sultry, mysterious and fashionable. The purse is especially desirable because it is genuine alligator.
DESCRIPTION:
The bag is tremendous in size measuring 9" 17" x2". Its shape is a stylized fan and is carried as a clutch. It definitely screams out "deco." It is covered with glossy chocolate brown alligator skins. The skins are from the flank side of the alligator. It has a slight shine and the brown color has variations to it. There are thick pleats that give the bag depth. The bag closes with a zipper that has a large alligator pull connected to the zipper. The other end of the zipper also has a skin patch at the end, indicating a higher end purse. The inside is lined with a brown grosgrain textile. There is an open pocket and a zippered one. The lining shows some discoloration. No maker's identification otherwise consistent with age and use. Nothing significant. The bag is in great condition with some expected indications of age and wear. Again, nothing significant. This is a bag for a sassy lady with moxie, who doesn't shy away from an ability to astonish. This bag embodies a free feminine spirit while preserving a retro and classic style. Is it right for you? Condition: Excellent VINTAGE -- Condition
