Dover Handbag Co., American, founded 1945 · 1960s - 1970s
A purple velveteen handbag with a Lucite handle. The trapezoid-shaped body of the purse is made from one panel of purple synthetic velveteen that’s been sewn along the side seams and tucked into a metal frame. There is a debossed broken line pattern along the metal frame, and it has a 1” wide pentagon shaped closure at the center of it. Attached to the bottom of the frame’s interior with matching hardware is an 8.25” long semi-circular clear Lucite handle.
