About the Item

This piece is a beautiful example of mid-century design, combining the lustrous, rich tones of Bakelite with the classic elegance of genuine leather. The exterior features a sleek, rectangular Bakelite body in a stunning amber-brown marbled finish. The high-gloss surface is polished to a mirror shine, showcasing the natural swirling patterns of the material. A distinctive Bakelite handle arches gracefully over the top, serving as both a functional carry strap and a unique design element. The bag opens to reveal a beautifully crafted interior. The lining is made of supple brown leather, which has developed a lovely patina over the decades. The interior includes a small side pocket, perfect for holding essentials. A brass snap button closure secures the flap, adding a final touch of vintage charm. This elegant clutch is in excellent vintage condition, showing minimal signs of wear consistent with its age. It is a true collector's item and a sophisticated accessory that will add a touch of timeless glamour to any formal outfit.
