Remember the old vinyl covered kitchen chairs from the retailer 50s and 60s? If you love that era, this Dover USA vinyl and lucite clutch purse is just perfect for you. The body of the bag is a textured, beige vinyl that catches the light and shows off the angular patterns. The hardware is a gold tone metal that has a bit of rust in one corner, with staining and colour loss in a few other areas. The top, two sided snap closure, features a caramel coloured lucite rod that looks much like butterscotch Bakelite.
The inside is finished in a brown fabric with a centre, zippered compartment. The zipper works providing you don't open it all the way. It catches a bit on the last half inch.
The purse has been packed away in a suitcase for years so could use a good cleaning but I thought that would be best left to its new owner who will probably know more about its proper care than what I do.
Stamped “Dover”, “Made in USA” on the zippered compartment.
Approximate measurements - 23 cm long X 12.5 cm high X 5 cm base width (9” X 5” X 2”)
