Vintage 1940's Black Corde Purse with Scallop Design and Lucite Handle

Description

When I first set eyes on this purse, I was just amazed. The weight, the quality, in perfect condition after 70 years...amazing! As I did my research and learned more about Corde purses and bags, they all seem to be in amazing condition - somebody was doing something right:)
This gorgeous bag measures 15" across and 10" deep (height). The hard lucite handle (with Art Deco style striping), measures 4.5". The only area that I can see an wear is along the zipper itself but it's only material fading and unnoticeable - the zipper is in excellent condition, as is the interior. A small change purse is attached on the inside.
I love the scalloped edges and clamshell appearance.
This is an item to be passed on for generations to come. They definitely don't make them like this anymore:)
Gorgeous!
Please feel free to convo me with any questions - and always remember to double click to see the small details. The 3rd picture, is of the woven base of the purse, the 4th picture is of the zipper area and the fifth picture (done with flash, making the black look more grey) is of the interior.
As with all of my items, this is completely guaranteed - See my policy page for info.
This purse will ship USPS Priority Flat Rate, within the US.
Because of its considerable weight, international shipping is a little higher on this item. International rates are broken down by area.

Thanks so much for stopping by:)
