About the Item
This exquisite black handbag is a rare find from the 1940s, embodying the sophisticated, structured glamour of Italian post-war design with an Art Deco-inspired sensibility. The exterior is a masterclass in texture, featuring a striking checkerboard pattern crafted from alternating squares of plush black velvet and smooth black woven material or satin, all neatly framed in a high-gloss black leather.
Its signature feature is the chic, curved top handle, which beautifully mimics the look of polished bamboo, a material choice that became a hallmark of luxury Italian designers during that period. The bag secures with a structured, gold-tone metal frame and clasp, which opens to reveal a dramatic and luxurious surprise: a vivid, contrasting interior lined in brilliant scarlet red leather or structured fabric, complete with internal pockets. This piece is a true statement accessory, perfect for the vintage collector who appreciates bold material combinations and enduring Italian craftsmanship. It's in excellent vintage condition
