1940s Art Deco Cream Bakelite and Brass Italian Shoulder Bag

About the Item

A rare gem from the 1940s, this Italian Art Deco shoulder bag is crafted from luminous cream Bakelite with a sleek, structured silhouette. Its minimalist form is elevated by elegant details, including a gracefully curved front tab closure and a luxe brass chain strap that adds a touch of timeless glamour. This piece is a testament to the refined design sensibilities of the Art Deco era—where bold lines met innovative materials. The smooth, high-gloss Bakelite surface reflects light beautifully, giving the bag a polished, sculptural presence. Perfect for evening wear or as a statement collectible accessory. Excellent vintage condition with minor wear consistent with age and use. A highly collectible piece for the vintage fashion lover or Bakelite aficionado, exuding timeless Italian elegance.
