Vintage INGBER patent-style bags are wonderful. This one is such a cutie as well. Black patent vinyl handbag with a doubled-single handle. Beautiful matching piped edge seams. Gold-tone and black metal frame. The frame is unique in that it is laquered black on the sides, which makes it look like the patent continues up onto the frame. Interior is black faille fabric and there are three open pockets. The interior Ingber label has faded, which is common, as it was a stamped label. The second stamp "PermaPlastic" is legible.
SIZE: H: 7" not including handle; L: 7" across top, 10" across widest point; W: 4-3/8". Handle drop to top of frame is 4-3/4". Size measurements are approximate.
PRICE: $40.00 USD
CONDITION: Very good vintage condition. When we look at vintage patent handbags, the handles and ends need to be in excellent condition as they are here. The stitching on the handle is in great condition. No popped stitches. None missing. There are no cracks on the sides of the bag where it folds at the frame. Few minor scuffs from use which is expected. Hard to notice due to the shine. Piped edge seams are beautiful and in excellent condition. Bottom is in good condition as well. Clasp works well. Minimal fading of the gold-tone due to use, as expected. Interior shows minor signs of use. No rips or tears. A delightful bag that will bring you compliments.
