Black purse with center clutch and silver hardware
Unidentified · 1950s - 1970s
A black purse with a center clutch and silver hardware. The front and back of the purse are each made from one panel of black synthetic faille. A layer of non-woven stiffener is adhered to each outer panel for added structure. There are two straps that are looped twice through two metal lightning bulb shaped metal rings at the top of the purse. The purse has an outer silver metal upturned frame and just inside the outer frame is an interior downturned frame covered in black synthetic faille. The inside of the purse is lined with two panels of black synthetic faille (one on each side). There is no label.
