Super Rare Original 1940s / 1950s Brown And Cream Telephone Cord Bag Purse

This incredible bag was made in the late 1940s and the entire bag has been adorned with flexible plastic cord on top of a fabric canvas. The cord comes in shades of brown and white to create a wonderful geometric pattern on both sides. A solid oval base has also been covered in brown flexible cord, with great attention to detail. A strap attaches to large gold to bed rings on each side and the bag closes with a clever hidden bending metal frame at the top. Inside, there is a small mirror pocket as well as a larger compartment lined in rayon. This is an iconic item of vintage fashion history and a superb addition to any period wardrobe. 

Size: 11” wide, 7” tall without handle, 14” including handle and 3” deep

The bag is in very good condition, however there are a few small breaks in the cord as pictured and the stitching on one side of the mirror pocket has come loose.
