Large 1950s/60s handbag made from colorful woven raffia in a lovely geometric patchwork design. The bag has a trapezoid shape, a wooden frame and a loop-and-button closure. The sturdy handles are made from thick rope encased in clear plastic tubing, a typical mid-century construction detail. The base is made from pressed cardboard with metal feet.
Measurements: • Width at bottom: 35 cm / 13 3/4” • Width at top: 26 cm / 10 1/4” • Height: 29 cm / 11 1/2” • Depth: 11 cm / 4 1/4” • Handle drop: 15.5 cm / 6”
In fair to good vintage condition with age-related wear. There is some fraying and uneven discoloration to several individual strands of raffia. The interior is ok, but has that distinctive old plastic smell.
Please review all photos carefully before purchasing, price reflects condition!
