Dorette Red Snakeskin Vanity Bag with matching belt, size 10. The double-sided bag and the belt latch with unusual gold hemisphere hardware whose tiny "ears" compress into the sphere to allow the circular openings in the tabs to go over (see detail.) The juicy cranberry color is especially enticing. One side of the bag has a loose powder compact compartment with the unused original puff and sifter, a lipstick slot and center money compartment. The beveled edge mirror shows considerable darkening and spotting and carries labels reading "Patent Pending" and "Hand Made Genuine Snakeskin." The other side of the bag could be used of cigarettes or necessities. Excellent unused condition. The belt varies from 26 ½ to 30" in length. The bag is a petite 5 ¾ x 1 3/8 x 3 3/8".
