This stunning sculptural bag features a smokey purple pearlized (taffeta) acrylic body, grey pearlized acrylic interior and edging, and a clear carved top and handle. The top has a floral design, while the handle has a lovely swirl to it. The top handle is on sturdy hinges, and the bottom has two bars for support. All the hardware is silver-tone.

With an oval shape and nice roomy dimensions, this is a very usable size! It will fit even the biggest cellphone, plus many more essentials. Otherwise, a gorgeous display piece for collectors.

Makers Mark - None. The clasp is indicative of it being made by Charles Kahn.

Condition - Fantastic. Very minimal surface wear, no tarnish on metal, clasp works great.

In addition to being a vintage dealer, I am a USPAP-compliant personal property appraiser.
