Hi this auction is for a lovely vintage brown clutch handbag. 

This is a small rectangular brown bag in a shiny patent effect, the outer has an animal skin (crocodile/alligator or similar) but I think is just faux. 

Has a small handle to the top and fastens at the front flap with a  metal popper clasp. Snake style metal gold tone chain for the shoulder but this can be tucked in. 

Inside it has an open compartment at the back and slots in the flap. The front part has a gold tone metal frame with an unusual push clasp. The inner of this purse part is lined in a smooth brown patterned fabric- this part is in the best condition. 

The outer has some signs of use with some wear to the edges but the main inner part has a lot of wear and is coming apart at both edges and also at the slots. This all requires attention/gluing into place. Seems great quality and has a gold foil look alligator/crocodile logo on the inner flap- unsure if this is Lacoste brand? Or just a logo? 

This was inherited, we found in a box in the attic when we cleared my granny's house so unsure of age but would guess 50's/60's. It had a very strong distinctive smell also so will require a thorough clean/airing, I have just given it a light surface wipe. 

Measures approx 8.5'' long by 3.5'' wide and 1.25'' deep. 

Any questions please ask- thanks for looking:-)
