crystal beaded purse- need help

[gina]

I acquired a highly collectible crystal bib necklace by Coppola E Toppo. At the same time I was given a clutch that was told went with the necklace. The necklace is signed. The purse frame is silvertone in color and I can't find a signature anywhere. Does anyone know if Coppola E Toppo did purses in crystal?

Many blessings!

This 1967 article reveals that they did, indeed, make bags:

"(Valentino) launched a lingerie collection in 1966, followed the next year by accessories - bags with a golden V logo, created by Italy's Coppola and Toppo." (WWD; June 27, 2007)

Thank you for the info. The purse is clutch style and all clear crystals and no lining. In excellent condition. Any info on this type of purse? Thanks!
