1960s Marquessa Red Lizard Leather Top Handle Bag

£225.00

Made in England in the 1960s, this top-handle bag is crafted from rich red lizard leather and cut to a softly structured trapeze shape with gently rounded corners. The bag has a panelled construction with twin top handles and gold-tone metal hardware. It closes at the top with a substantial gold-tone clasp further trimmed in matching red leather. The base is neatly folded to create additional depth and a surprisingly roomy interior. Inside, the bag is lined in clean beige suede and fitted with two slip pockets and a separate zipped compartment. The maker’s label is retained internally. In very good vintage condition overall. There is some light wear to the gold-tone metal hardware, consistent with age. Certain areas of the red lizard leather appear slightly darker in tone and we would view as a natural variation in the skin and ageing of the leather rather than staining. The beige suede interior remains exceptionally clean and the bag retains its original double sided mirror. Please refer to the measurements below for size. MEASUREMENTS LENGTH - 7 in.
