Description
This elegant 1940s evening bag is an authentic vintage piece that perfectly captures the refined style of the era.
The bag is made of black grosgrain fabric, recognizable by its distinctive ribbed texture, and finished with a striking trapezoid-shaped gold tone metal clasp inspired by Art Deco design.
The wristlet handle, also crafted in grosgrain fabric, is sewn directly onto the clasp, allowing the bag to be worn comfortably around the wrist, as was typical of evening handbags from the 1940s.
Inside, the bag is fully lined with black satin and includes a small inner pocket, a functional and charming detail often found in original vintage evening bags.
A sophisticated accessory, this 1940s evening bag is ideal for formal occasions, special events, vintage fashion lovers, or collectors searching for an authentic and wearable piece of fashion history.
Very good vintage condition.
The grosgrain fabric is clean, intact, and well preserved, to signal just light wear to the hand sewn edges of the handle.
The gold tone metal clasp shows light signs of age and gentle wear to the finish, consistent with the bag’s age.
The closure mechanism is original, intact, and fully functional.
