Post-war suburban gold, this nostalgic box purse is a beautiful, functional conversation piece thanks to its sizeable interior and clever double decker design. The Lucite lid flips open to reveal a tray, beneath which is hidden a second “underground” compartment opened by a spring latch beside the clasp. Unlike most box purses with a single, cavernous interior compartment, this one keeps all your necessities neat and in place. Poodle skirt not included.
Oval mother of pearl Lucite box purse with rigid Lucite top handle; Lucite flip clasp opens lid to reveal top tray, which is also a lid for the hidden lower compartment. Mirror inside top lid; unlined.
