evans elegance purse

[kathy c]

I found this fabulous suade purse recently from Evans Elegance
I can find very little about the company, this purse has a very nice compact,lipstick,coin purse and mirror all have gold motif with blue stones that match the purse clasp hinge it is missing one blue stone. Any ideas on how to find the value & date of this purse.

Thank you
Kathy c

You might also consider looking on eBay for comparables, both sold & active.

Lots of info and items made by Evans. I have had many smoking and cigarette related items made by Evans.

Pretty purse--love the square settings/blue rhinestones! I'd call it a vanity purse, and have 2 similar ones (in black leather) with the Evans Elegance cartouche that are early 50s. Mine also have lipstick, compact and mirror inside, tucked into little pockets, and have that sunburst clasp.

Though we don't give opinions on values here, as MS suggests an eBay search for comparables will tell you a lot about your example!
