For your consideration is a stunning and scarce vintage black leather box purse or handbag by Milgrim. The streamlined triangular shape features an unusual copper metal "hook" latch. The interior lining is bright red leather. There are three folding pockets with the original mirror. It measures 9" at the base x 8 1/4" tall x 4 1/2" wide.

Milgrim was a specialty store that dated from the early 20's in New York City. The designer was Sally Milgrim. She designed clothing for entertainers such as Mary Pickford, Pearl White, and Ethel Merman. Her greatest success was designing Eleanor Rooseveldt's inaugural gown in 1933.

I am currently listing a few vintage purses. Whenever possible I will combine winning auctions so that you may save on shipping. Thanks for taking a look!
