How is a Lucite purse made?
1 Answer
Lucite is a high-end version of acrylic. Shaping acrylic simply requires heating up the material and then bending or molding it. Once lucite or acrylic cools, it then holds its shape and is rigid and durable. On 1stDibs, find a collection of authentic lucite handbags from some of the world’s top sellers.
