Unusual collector’s item with compact on the bottom! Gerson illustrates this Robin Vanity Bag on page 227 of “Vintage Vanity Bags”. The square loose powder compartment includes signed puff and sifter. The case mounted mirror shows some aging. The bottom of the compact is covered with plain black velvet. The rest of the bag is adorned in spots of silver glitter, two or three of which shows slight wear. The soft body of the bag is lined in terra cotta satin and snaps to close. The eyelets at the top indicate there was probably a pull string, but frankly it seems redundant. Measures 3 x 3 inches square on the bottom and 6 inches tall with 13-inch handle.

This item was part of the archives of the Bag Lady Emporium, originally in operation from 1996 through 2022 (Inventory ID A00442).
