This charming navy faille oval box bag has a lot going for it, but is not without some flaws. The shape is satisfying, starting from an 8 ½ x 4 1/2” oval on the bottom, it diminishes to 7 x 4 ½ at the top, providing a lovely line without sacrificing interior space. The flap closure unsnaps and opens wide to a navy faille interior, trimmed inn tiny gold fleur-de-lis. The lid carries a large mirror that shows some slight darkening. The lining is in excellent condition but shows signs of being reglued with some residue noted. The exterior has one tiny 1/8” discoloration near the top front edge. The twisted covered cord handle and gold attachments add charm. The bottom shows some abrasion wear. Overall, it’s a great vintage box bag in very good condition and priced accordingly. Measures 8 ½ x 4 x 4 ½”. This item was part of the archives of the Bag Lady Emporium, originally in operation from 1996 through 2022 (Inventory ID E00069). It sold for $50.00 in 2007. |
