Bought a vintage bag and am wondering about it.

Hello, I am not that familiar with vintage handbags, but I saw this the other day and couldn’t resist. I love the shape, and it looks like it has carried only rarely. Could someone give me any information on it? It has no labels, and no markings except for a “B” on the hinges. It has cloth lining, and looks like real leather to me. Other than that, I’m at a loss.

That's a lovely bag - and I love the lining fabric too! I would say 1960s date-wise. Nice find!

agree, very nice handbag! and also agree with 1960s.

Thanks for the info. I assumed it was from the 60’s from the lining, but wasn’t sure. I bought it to possibly sell in my Etsy shop, but am torn because I like it so much, lol!

This is a common dilemma! We can all relate I'm sure.
