Betty Higgins Originals Royal Hawaiian Hotel Shop Purse 1940s/1950s?

[EndlessAlley]

I've been able to find some fabulous Betty Higgins 40s & 50s dresses, but no purses. Did evening bag henge work and shape change enough in the 40s and 50s to determine a date? Thank you for your thoughts on this one.

Alice, I love that! My gut says late 40s.

What a gorgeous bag! I'm with MS, to maybe into the early 50s?

And, is you new avatar another shot of your artwork? Nice one!

Thanks MS & Joules. Was looking for a quick change, so image for this avatar came from an old book my mother gave me.

Love the bag. Early fifties.... I would keep that one!

Wow, that's some serious arm candy!

I'd go with early 50s too, due to the clasp (which I've seen on other 50s clutches).

Good suggestion Yum Yum. Recently I've been raiding favorites from my "to sell" stash and tucking them away in the back of my closet! Not good for sales, but fun for me! ';)
