About the Item

A rare and striking 1960s black patent leather box handbag by DEUTZ, featuring a dramatic gold-tone coin medallion framed in rhinestones at the center front. This highly structured top-handle bag is a shining example of mid-century American glam, perfect for cocktail soirées or vintage collectors seeking a standout statement piece. Expertly crafted in a high-gloss black patent leather, the bag opens to reveal a vibrant mustard yellow interior with a built-in oval mirror, zippered pocket, and the original DEUTZ logo stamped in gold foil. The compact, rectangular silhouette and sturdy handle create a chic, polished look that transitions effortlessly from day to evening. DEUTZ was a boutique handbag label active in the 1950s and 1960s, known for its vanity-style evening bags and elegant box purses featuring luxury finishes and thoughtful interior details. Though relatively obscure today, DEUTZ pieces are prized among vintage collectors for their quality construction and unique accents—like this medallion centerpiece reminiscent of classical coin jewelry. Whether displayed as part of a curated vintage handbag collection or carried as a glamorous accessory, this DEUTZ bag is a rare and refined relic of mod-era sophistication.
