About the Item
An exquisite 1940s Art Deco Italian Top Handle Handbag
This unique piece seamlessly blends luxurious materials and meticulous craftsmanship, embodying the sophisticated style of the period.
The bag features a striking textile body composed of small, puffy hexagonal cells in a beautiful color palette of terracotta orange, deep blue, and light grey. This distinctive texture, reminiscent of a beehive pattern, adds remarkable depth and visual interest.
A true highlight of this bag is its magnificent frame and handle, crafted from rich, mottled brown Bakelite. The handle itself is an elegant chain of large, interlocking Bakelite links, providing a comfortable and stylish grip. The frame is adorned with a polished brass clasp closure, completing the sophisticated look. Inside, the bag is lined with a smooth, light-colored silk, adding to its luxurious feel.
This Italian-made handbag is a testament to the quality and design sensibilities of the 1940s. It's perfect for a vintage enthusiast, a collector of Art Deco pieces, or anyone looking to add a unique and elegant accessory to their wardrobe. It's ideal for special occasions, themed events, or simply as a chic statement piece. It's in excellent vintage condition considering use and age.
