The bag has two transparent Lucite handles with gold glitter flecks and a matching fabric band around the wooden base. The interior is lined with gold-brown plastic.
The label reads Susie Lee, East Texas Handbag Co., Jacksonville, Texas.

Very good vintage condition. There is some paint loss and damage on one of the wooden slats underneath the bag, as shown in the photos. Otherwise, only minor signs of age and wear.
