Estimated age of vintage Laura?!

[Madeleine]

Hi, just picked up this Laura and I would love some help dating it because I usually collect 80s/90s Lauras! I'm thinking 70s but I would appreciate some help narrowing it down It has a Lightning zipper, if that's any help!

Late 60s to 70s and gorgeous!

Laura Mountney Ashley (1925-1985) and husband Bernard Ashley started Ashley-Mountney Ltd in 1953 as a small screenprinting business that they ran from their home. They produced scarves and fabric kitchenwares such as placemats and towels. At first the business was located in London, then Kent...

I Am Not An Expert but I will say that in my experience that zipper shape showed up in the mid to late 60s and seems to have gone away in the 70s (when exactly I don't know, that's just a general observation).

That is a beauty! I would say 1960s or very early 70s.
