A striking vintage gold-tone metal compact clutch, featuring an elegant woven basket-style exterior and classic mid-century construction. Designed as both a handbag and a vanity compact, this piece reflects the refined glamour of 1950s–1960s evening accessories.
The interior opens to reveal original functional compartments including a powder compact, mirror, lipstick holder, comb, and an adjustable interior clip designed to secure personal items or accessories. The structured metal frame and delicate chain handle make it equally suited for display or special occasion wear.
This piece is unmarked, which is not uncommon for vintage compacts of this era. It has been carefully photographed to show all wear and imperfections honestly, preserving its authentic vintage character.
A beautiful collector’s piece or statement accessory for lovers of true mid-century style.
