A charming 1920s–1930s clutch bag in rich brown velvet, with a softly scalloped flap outlined by rows of tonal stitching. At its centre sits a delicate marcasite star, adding a subtle sparkle against the velvet’s lustrous surface.
Inside, the bag retains its original small clasp purse and attached rectangular mirror, lovely surviving details that make this piece particularly special. A fabric-lined interior and a matching velvet hand strap at the back complete the thoughtful design.
Carry it with a simple evening dress or contrast its soft texture with a crisp shirt and tailored trousers. An understated piece of vintage glamour, with just enough decoration to catch the eye.
In good vintage condition for its age, with some surface wear to the velvet and signs of age to the interior. The mirror shows spotting and deterioration to its reflective backing, as pictured. The bag’s press-stud fastening remains in good working order.
