This antique 1910 Arts & Crafts Art Nouveau hand tooled leather purse with a turn lock front is a unique vintage accessory perfect for film or theater props, as well as early 1900s reenactments. Also vintage car show accessory.

The brown leather material and hand tooled design give it a distinctive Arts & Crafts look of these early 1900s “shopping bags”

. Made in the United States, this purse is an original piece that embodies the Art Nouveau movement, making it a rare find for collectors or those looking to add a touch of vintage charm to their outfit.

Inside is a soft green suede, with attached coin purse and a pocket for the leather backed beveled hand mirror. The Frame is a silver black metal JEMCO frame with their patented Turn Loc clasp. Clasp works well.
