This is an authentic Vintage Mesh Whiting & Davis Co Purse. Charles Davis made the first mesh bag for the Whiting & Davis Company in 1892. Most were originally made by hand and in 1912 an automated mesh machine was used to create the unique aluminum beads.

Lined in an black satin fabric, this handbag is a beautiful vintage piece ready to complement any fashion style. It hangs from a gold metal, coiled chain with a 6" drop.

The entire purse is constructed of raised pieces that made to look like ivory color beads. The fancy outer scalloped edge frame is finished with a delicate beautiful gold finish.

This "made in the USA" clutch is in splendid shape only with minor wear which is consistent and expected with its age.
