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

Description

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.
