About the Item

As intricate as an Italian mosaic but as impermeable as a safe, this handbag is both a strongbox and a piece of art. Fully crusted with seed beads—some of which are doubled for extra topography—the purse’s pattern resembles cobblestones surrounding a bugle bead lotus flower at the center. The real eye-catcher, however, is the trapezoidal 24-karat gold plated frame, which surrounds the bag on all sides for an imposing, powerful silhouette. Trapezoidal hard evening bag with pavé bead faces and full 24-karat gold plate surround frame; silk faille top handle with caviar beading on front side. Open interior compartment with single open pocket one side and open pocket with two lipstick compartments on the other; rectangular mirror across full width of one side panel; tethered change purse.

Judith Leiber Brown Leather Compartment Bag with Coin Purse, 1980s

By Judith Leiber

Located in Tucson, AZ

Like Bonnie Cashin’s revolutionary “Cashin Carry” bags of the 1960s, this ingenious purse seems to defy physics with the amount of room it offers. Essentially a series of expandable accordion files with multiple pockets and kiss locks to keep contents secure, it eliminates the need for a wallet. Moreover, the heavyweight gold chain handle looks like a piece of fine jewelry and is long enough to be worn on the shoulder. Chocolate brown shoulder bag...

New Tyrolean Brown Suede Mini Steamer Trunk 24-Karat Gold Plate Filigree, 1940s

Located in Tucson, AZ

Hands-down the most clever, unusual and sculptural evening bag we’ve seen, this extremely collectable handbag resembles a miniature 1930s steamer trunk—if steamer trunks had been surrounded by 24-karat gold plate filigree, that is. This incredible bag’s front face unlatches and lays flat to reveal a mirror on its interior face, an elastic band to hold its original comb and comb sleeve, and a series of padded silk moiré interior drawers and compartments. A handbag worthy of a trip on the Queen Mary...
