Step into summer with a fun and functional 1950's straw tote handbag. The exotic design will transport you to the tropics with the body of the large handbag woven in coconut fibers that have the texture and look of straw colored a marvelous shade of dark coral.

The braided double handle is easy to carry and the open tote style is perfect for travel or the beach. Very good condition with some variations of color to the straw both light and dark.

MARY MCFADDEN Black Romper Jumpsuit, 1970's
By Mary McFadden
Located in Atlanta, GA
Fun and fabulous 1970’s Mary McFadden black romper jumpsuit with exotic braided belt.

The design is executed in McFadden’s signature micro pleated fabric similar to Mario Fortuny’s creations. The legs are bubble style and give the hint of a harem pant. The skinny sleeves are almost a mutton style with a slight puff at the shoulder. The former owner added the braided belt which adds a touch of rich burgundy red color and antiqued metallic shine but there are so many ways to style this design including a different belt or forgo something at the waist for a dramatic collar necklace. Footwear could also create a different vibe … anything from boots to strappy heels to pointy mules. This jumper may...
