About the Item
This 1970s Vintage Fake Tortoise Shell Lucite French Handbag is a stunning accessory, notable for its rich faux tortoise shell pattern, structured boxy design, and luxurious gold-tone hardware, all characteristic of the era's stylish yet functional fashion trends.
The handbag is constructed from Lucite, a type of durable, clear plastic with a tortoiseshell effect. The surface has a deep, rich brown color with warm, amber highlights, mimicking the look of tortoiseshell but with a more refined and polished finish.
The handbag has a boxy, structured design, giving it a classic and formal aesthetic. The solid structure and sharp edges make it resemble a compact, treasure box-like accessory.
Handle: The arched handle is also made from Lucite with the same tortoise shell pattern, blending with the bag's body. The smooth, rounded handle adds an elegant and cohesive element to the overall design.
The bag features gold-tone metal hardware, including a hinged clasp at the top, which adds a luxurious touch. The hardware emphasizes the vintage look and the craftsmanship of the era.
