Vintage Brass & Copper Pillow Purse – Ornate Metal Handbag

This vintage brass and copper pillow purse is a petite but powerful statement piece, believed to be from the 1950s–70s bohemian revival era. With its structured metal body, ornate filigree clasp, and softly curved “pillow” silhouette, it embodies global artisan charm. Though similar styles are sometimes attributed to the 1930s, most examples like this were handcrafted post-WWII, often in India for boutique export. Measures approximately 5 inches long by 4 inches high, with a strap drop of 16.5 inches—ideal for shoulder or crossbody wear. The metal chain strap is original and sturdy. Aged patina throughout adds rich character, but the overall condition is excellent with all hardware intact. A collector’s gem or the perfect finishing touch for any vintage or boho-luxe look.
