    Here are some photos. I didn't measure it, but it's about 5"X 8". There are stones on both ends.
    Many thanks. Claire

    Lovely, really nice.

    If genuine and your photos don't suggest otherwise, I would date it between 1967-1976.

    For the life of me there is another word given to describe this type of bag but I can't remember what it is.

    Just lovely and harks back to a fashion of the late 20s- 30s.

    After my Mum died I found among her collection a compact with this designer's name in it and still have somewhere.

    Much copied by others, really nice

    I read online her first metal purse was created in 1967, so agree with avantbo. I would call it a box clutch, but perhaps there is a better term

    Avantbo~ you might be thinking of minaudiére to describe this purse.
