    Does anyone know if Sally Victor ever made purses? I have a purse I’m getting ready to list, but I’m not sure if the Sally Victor hangtag is correct. It’s made from straw, which was one of her preferred materials. But there is a label sewn on the inside that says Made in Italy. From what I’ve seen, her hats have union tags, so they were not made abroad. Outside of hats, I have only been able to find a few handkerchiefs with her signature as well as one hat/gloves combo and one hat/small evening purse combo (but the purse had a Sally Victor label on the inside).

    Any insight would be appreciated! Photos are attached.

    I once sold a hat/glove combo set of hers. 1930s. Here it is as well as the label with a signature. Screen Shot 2021-02-14 at 7.08.04 PM.png Screen Shot 2021-02-14 at 7.08.52 PM.png

    Yes, that is "the" Sally Victor.

    I found one more “accessory set” on the Met’s website. I’m just curious about the Made in Italy label on the inside. Obviously the hangtag could have just been looped on the purse by anyone. I don’t want to sell this as a Sally Victor if it is not.

    Could anyone help with dating as well? The bag is a basket type bag with a fabric drawstring top.

    I see an article from 1958 that talks about her pairing a hat with a purse so sounds like she definitely did purses in the late 50s

    Also an indication she used straw from Italy so it wouldn't be a stretch for her purses
