Jenny Blue Leather Handbag

[Mharrington]

Good afternoon. I purchased this handbag from an estate sale. The style seems vintage. Brass hardware. Navy leather. Quality lining. The only marking is “Jenny” I haven’t been able to identify anything but the turn lock closure. Any help with style, age, maker. Would be appreciated. Thank you.

Looks 50s to me, or maybe early 60s. I get a lot of bags similar to this. It is hard to tell without handling it but it appears to be faux leather which seems to have been very common in the era. I even have a faux leather bag lined in real suede leather....

Ok thank you. What’s strange to me is that it was with a bunch of designer bags. Coach, Ettiene Augnier all from 50s 60s. Plus the brass and the closure. It also has a beveled compact mirror with it. See pic
