Purse with giraffe print

Unidentified · 1960s

A fur drawstring purse with a giraffe print. The drawstring bag has a bucket shape and is made from eight panels of calf skin that have an all-over giraffe print. All eight panes are sewn together vertically. At the opening of the bag is a 2.5” wide black leather panel with eight .5” wide self-fabric loops sewn equidistantly around the perimeter. One 14” long circular strap/drawstring is strung though it. An ovoid shaped panel of black leather creates the bottom base of the bag. The interior is lined with black synthetic faille and the interior construction mirrors that of the outside. A cream-colored fabric label sewn to the back reads [MADE IN CANADA] in dark brown text.
