About the Item

From the 1920s, this unusual evening clutch is elegant and timeless at once. Done in black satin with black satin handles, it has a fabulous, ruffled, clear Lucite standup frame that is thick and sturdy. The black satin is pleated where it meets the top of the Lucite frame, giving this bag a sumptuous, formal feel. The design is reminiscent of the popular satin Ascot bag by The Row, minus the frame, which is a testament to just how timeless this black satin bag is. A unique addition to the discerning fashion lovers’ wardrobe, this clutch bag is the perfect choice for a cocktail party or special occasion. Measurements: Width: 10 inches Height: 8 inches including the Lucite frame Strap drop: 8 inches This vintage bag is over 100 years old and is finished with hand-stitched details. It is fully lined in faded black satin that is clean and ready to use with an interior wall pocket. The interior label says ‘Surrey Original’. The bag opens by pressing a Lucite button in the frame and closes tightly and securely with no gaps. In very good condition, there are some minor surface scratches on the Lucite and some fading on the black satin exterior, to a purple/ black. High-quality vintage pieces like this are yours to live in and love while increasing in value every year. It’s never too soon to start collecting them, as an investment in your wardrobe—and in yourself.

1990s Shoulder Bags

Vintage Bottega Veneta Sculptural Beaded Organza Bag
By Bottega Veneta
Located in Boca Raton, FL
Beaded handbags were all the rage for much of the 19th century. Called reticules, these small bags would carry only the barest of necessities and tended to be more of a decorative accessory than functional. This version by Bottega Veneta deconstructs the notion of the reticule, transforming it into a sculptural blend of wire and beading. Completely made by hand, silver wire is used to create an intricate webbed cage that acts as a frame for the double-layer organza pocket. Organza, which is woven from high twist silk fibers, is both beautiful and strong. Multi-colored glass beads bubble around the edges, with clusters of color grouping sporadically incorporated into the main body of the bag. A twisted wire handle arcs up from the top edge. This piece embodies the detailed attention to handcraft that is synonymous with the longtime Italian brand. Measurements: Height: 6 inches Width: 9 inches Depth: 2 inches Handle height: 6 inches This this rare and unique vintage Bottega bag...
