World War II materials restrictions forced handbag designers to rethink their products and bags very suddenly became frameless, relying on pre-war caches of zippers and hardware. This Rosenfeld Rayon Gimp Underarm Clutch is a fabulous example of the results. Fish scale scallops catch the light front and back. A large formed Lucite zipper pull opens to a cavernous navy satin lined interior. A large open pocket on one side carries fitted pockets on its front surface as well as the woven Rosenfeld fan logo label. Another open pocket adorns the other side of the interior. Spotless condition inside and out. Measures 12 3/4 x 3 x 8".

This item was part of the archives of the Bag Lady Emporium, originally in operation from 1996 through 2022 (Inventory ID G00039).
