An Art Deco style rectangular beaded bag, Pierre Cardin, France, 1970

By Pierre Cardin Couture

Located in Greyabbey, County Down

Training essentially as an architect, he moved into fashion, working first for Paquin, them moving to Elsa Schiaparelli and , finally, Christian Dior, before opening his own house in 1950.

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. Many bakelite and celluloid bags...
