Hutzler's Baltimore Black Suede Clutch Purse with Bakelite Frame Made in Italy

Vintage Hutzler’s Baltimore (Hutzler Brothers Company 1958-1990) black Ultrasuede clutch with a reddish brown Bakelite frame, made in Italy. It is in overall good condition, but please note that some fine microfibers are slightly pulling out of the fabric. Additionally, the closure and sides of the frame have some slight scratches and are slightly misaligned, preventing the purse from closing completely. However, the purse remains secure due to the frame weight, which prevents it from opening on its own. Size in inches: 14 x 7.5 (considering the closure) Ultrasuede was invented in 1970. It's a type of microfiber fabric made from millions of fine fibers that mimic the suede texture. Microsuede was patented and expensive, and was only used in high-end fashion items like boots and handbags until the patent expired in 1990. --- - Photos of the actual item.
