About the Item
This is a magnificent example of a 1950s-1960s Black Suede and Brass Evening Bag/Vanity Case that seamlessly blends sophisticated mid-century design with practical luxury. The exterior features a sleek, structured rectangular silhouette encased in rich, dark brown suede giving it a timeless, tactile elegance. The bag is defined by its stunning gold-tone brass hardware, including a minimalist frame that runs along the bottom and sides, securing the structured body. The most captivating detail is the ornate clasp: a charming central gold-tone die (dice) paired with a smooth brass sphere that functions as a kiss lock closure, adding a whimsical, unexpected flourish. The strap is a simple black fabric handle, likely faille or suede, attached to the frame by elegant brass fittings accented with delicate filigree work, showcasing quality craftsmanship.
When opened, this piece reveals its true function as a miniature vanity case or compact evening bag. The interior is lined and features multiple compartments, often with a mirrored lid and separate sections lined in a soft material like tan suede or leather for holding cosmetics, coins, or small essentials. This luxurious little handbag is a collectible, high-quality accessory, perfect for the modern woman seeking a vintage statement piece with both style and unique functionality for a gala, evening event, or special outing.
