1950s Art Deco Style Cream Toned Bakelite and Leather Evening Bag
About the Item
This chic vintage Italian mini shoulder bag is a standout piece crafted in cream Bakelite and leather, blending mid-century charm with minimalist architectural lines.
The body of the bag is made primarily of smooth cream-colored Bakelite, a popular early plastic used in luxury accessories, known for its high-gloss finish and durable structure. The bag features a geometric envelope-style flap, sharply angled to resemble a stylized letter or clutch envelope. This adds a bold, sculptural silhouette to an otherwise petite design.
The strap is a gold-tone chain with an openwork link pattern, adding elegance and contrast to the cream base.
1950s–1960s, was the era of mod Italian glamour and innovative material experimentation.
The look is streamlined and futuristic, yet playful—a perfect reflection of the post-war design boom in Italy.
Vibe
This mini bag is a collector’s dream: ideal for formal evenings, fashion editorials, or anyone who appreciates rare vintage materials and timeless Italian craftsmanship with a retro-futuristic edge. It's in lovely vintage condition as visible on the photos.
