Awesome 1940’s Vintage Black Velvet Handbag With BEST Tortishshell Lucite Frame. For sale is a vintage black velvet handbag featuring the best tortoiseshell frame and clasps. Not trying to be rude, but those are some chunky, oversize balls making the clasp. I believe that this type of closure is called a Kiss class? I personally think that at some point someone re-lined this with the corduroy fabric There big bulky zipper inside. Upon closer inspection, it looks as though the black velvet has hand stitching as well, and could also be an early replacement. I am not sure, nor am I an expert on handbag, sewing techniques, so just take a look at the pictures and be the judge. I mentioned this for accuracy. And there’s no way the tracks from the appeal of the handbag, in my opinion. I think what everyone notices about this purse is the absolute chunky, beautiful, oversize Lucite frame and class. They certainly get your attention. However, it is all tight with no rips or tears. Just a wonderful statement, piece, and vintage survivor. It does seem to show some hand sewn pieces up from the lining, and I can fined no maker’s mark. Please view all photos carefully and enlarge them as they are an integral part of the description.
