About the Item
This is a beautiful, highly stylized vintage top-handle bag, likely dating to the 1950s or early 1960s.
The exterior features a rich black velvet fabric over a structured, framed body. The velvet has a striking cut velvet pattern which creates an abstract, geometric motif, reminiscent of a stylized, starburst or Art Deco-inspired fan design.
The frame and trim of the bag are made from a contrasting black patent leather, which gives it a polished, glossy finish, typical of mid-century evening bags and formal day purses. The top is secured with a small, gold-tone metal clasp, and the bag features a single, rigid top-handle strap made of the same glossy material.
Inside, the bag reveals a luxurious and vibrant contrast with a lining made of bright red The combination of black velvet, glossy black trim, gold-tone hardware, and a colorful red lining is a classic feature seen in high-quality Italian and mid-century formal bags.
This piece perfectly embodies the post-war elegance and structured glamour of the era, making it a wonderful accessory for a cocktail party or formal event. It's in very good condition overall.
