About the Item

This is a rare and highly sophisticated vintage shoulder bag/clutch from Colombetti Milano, dating to the 1970s. The design is a brilliant example of the era's Art Deco revival, featuring a striking contrast between the soft texture of the body and the smooth, hard geometry of the frame. The bag is crafted from pleated black leather that creates beautiful vertical lines and texture. The definitive feature is the wide, wavy black Bakelite (or high-quality early plastic) frame piece that forms the top clasp. This sculpted, glossy frame echoes the geometric, stylized lines of 1930s design. It can be carried as an elegant, oversized clutch or worn as a shoulder bag via the thin, detachable black leather strap. The interior is signed with the "COLOMBETTI MILANO MADE IN ITALY" metal plaque, assuring its authenticity and high-end Italian origin. This is a chic, versatile piece that offers timeless evening glamour and excellent collectible value. It's in excellent vintage condition.
