A carved Bakelite framed golden velvet handbag, France, 1920s

A charming and highly decorative handbag, made from golden/amber silk velvet, which has a veil, or netting, layer over the top , giving a delicacy and depth to the handbag. Topped with a beautiful carved and hand coloured Bakelite frame, the handle is made from celluloid, typical of many of the designs of this period. On opening a lovely yellowy green lining shows, and small transparent amber coloured beads highlight between the body of the bag and the frame itself.

By Pierre Cardin Couture
Located in Greyabbey, County Down

A rare hand coloured celluloid and silk velvet 'rose' handbag, France, 1920s.
Located in Greyabbey, County Down
A real collector's piece, and conversation point, this highly imaginative and charming handbag design is a rarity, and is wonderful to use and wear.
The centre of the 'rose' pulls to one side, releasing the catch, hence allowing the bag to open. The top is made from delicately hand curled 'petals' of coloured celluloid, the actual frame in dark green is robust and strong, with stronger green leaves, underlying the 'bloom'. The bag is made from mole brown silk velvet, with a black 'ruffled' trim highlight.
