This purse from the 1950's is so fun! Great for tropical and/or Tiki looks! It is a wood barrel/cylinder shaped large purse with a single top handle and it is is order coated white plastic rattan. It is woven with wooden sides. The top of the purse flips p and it has a wooden bead and loop closure. The interior of the bag is unlined.
On top of the purse are faux plastic flowers and feathered parrot. Very cute! The bag is definitely a larger size and it is 11" long, 6" tall not including the handle, and 6" deep. The handle is 24".
This unique bag is in excellent condition for the age. It could use a light cleaning. The little feather parrot that is on the top of the bag is a little worn, but I decided to leave him there. It can easily be removed if you wish.
Please ask all questions before you purchase as all items are sold as is, no returns. All items come from a non smoking home, but I do own pets! I do not dry clean my items unless noted.
*Please keep in mind that my vintage garments are usually at a minimum
20 years old and in many cases 50 up to 100 years old. They are not pristine. There may be a stitch or two broken at a seam, or pin holes. I do strive to describe garments accurately and honestly, but there is a very fine line between “vintage charm” and “flawed”.
