Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:02:30 -0500

$20.00
A vintage raffia hat styled like a beret or even a tam but fixed in shape. Made of white raffia, it has a very dark blue pom pom at the top also made of raffia.

They hang loosely on both sides – long strips on one side and short strips on the anchored edge. Hat band is fabric and is also in the very dark blue, almost black shade.

Two labels under the hat. One says Bambergers New Jersey. The other says Union Made in U.S.A. Interior of band measures about 21.5 inches around.

Some pulls on the raffia and very slight signs of fading on the hat band. Overall, in good shape. Versatile and fits so many looks – nautical, patriotic, schoolgirl and even a bit of French flair!

Vintage Patchwork Checkered Handbag Shades of Brown with White Kelly Style Luggage Latch and Bottom Feet Modish

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 16:18:22 -0400

$44.00
Amazing vintage patchwork Kelly style handbag. In rich shades of brown interspersed with white connected by zigzag stitching. Four metal feet at the base. Hard sided with a triangular profile. Unusual lift up top secured by a luggage latch lock, no key included, just move the round button to the right to open the latch and press latch to snap it shut. Buckle accents on the lid. Opens up to reveal a main compartment with an attached zippered pocket flap. Single looped handle. Measures about 11 inches across, 4 inches deep, 8 inches tall, including the feet but not the handle. No brand or fabrication label, could be leather or faux.

Condition:
This is a very vintage item, at least from the 1960s but probably earlier. A few strands of the zig zag stitching is missing, there is some tarnish on the metal parts, some scratches all around, creasing on the back 'hinge' of the lid where it opens, underside of handles creased and shows wear, black vinyl interior clean with a few whitish spots from rubbing, top of latch rectangular area worn down from where the metal closure has rubbed against it, wear on parts of the bag. Faint scent from storage when you smell it up close, nothing unpleasant or major, just want to be sure it is stated.

So, this fab purse is not in mint condition but has lots of life and definitely lots of style and class left. Very Jackie O and pretty unique too! Please check out all photos and use the zoom to get an idea of condition.

Vintage Pastel Brocade Clutch Purse with Glove Slide Loop

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 17:31:56 -0400

$35.00
Very pretty vintage clutch in a pastel brocade fabric. Gold tone metal bamboo inspired frame – opens with a lift and closes with a snap. Fabric is in beautiful shades of the palest pink, blue, green and gold on a golden cream background. Single compartment interior is lined with a flax color fabric.

No labels or markings but this style of cluth purses are generally circa 1940s to 1950s - it comes with a matching fabric loop at the back – a creative feature of the time. The loop functions as a finger loop where you can easily hold your purse by slipping your fingers through the strap but more often than not, the feature was used as a glove slide, where you tuck your gloves through the loop and hold both your purse and gloves in one hand at the same time.

Measures about 8.5 inches at its widest, 6.5 inches tall and about 1.5 inches deep. Some light tarnish on the “bamboo” metal frame and on the snap opening (which is slightly aske but still works well). Slight yellowing in a corner on the back (see photo – it’s to the left of my hand). Otherwise, clutch is clean and in good condition.

Shipping:
