* The minaudière, which literally translates to "coquettish woman" from the French verb "minauder," meaning "to simper," is not just an evening handbag; it's a symbol of elegance and innovation. Unlike traditional evening bags, the minaudière features an exterior frame cast in metal alloy.
A Minaudière is a small, bejeweled, clutch – or vanity – bag that holds cosmetic items and other small nécessaires. This ladies accessoire was patented c.1930 by Van Cleef & Arpels.
