Vintage Sculptural Navy Leather Handmade Bag Genuine Bakelite Horn Toggle

Presenting a mid-century masterpiece. This is a true vintage piece for collectors of sculptural minimalism and rare accessories. This unbranded, handmade handbag, dating to the late 1940s or early 1950s, is a sculptural work of art crafted from rich, deeply pebbled navy blue leather. The bag holds its distinct, asymmetrical, architectural form beautifully. Bakelite Toggle Flap Closure - thermal scent and simichrome tested Unlined Backside Leather interior Interior Zip pocket with Dandy brand zipper Hand and Shoulder Carry Measurements in photos Pretty amazing condition. The leather is thick and very strong - light wear to the color at the bottom of the bag and handle (see pics) Some patina/residue on the interior pocket zipper, which has been cleaned and greased I carried this for a bit, and it holds everything I normally carry in my day-to-day bag. It's quite easy to open and close once you figure out the direction of the toggle. I had no problem doing this with one hand while driving. It's definitely a conversation starter piece, sure to get many compliments!
