Authentic mid-century Koret women’s handbag dating to the late 1950s–early 1960s, crafted in glossy black patent leather with elegant gold-tone hardware. This piece exemplifies classic American luxury accessories from the post-war era.
The bag features a matching red coin purse attached by its original gold-tone chain, secured to the interior—an increasingly hard-to-find original detail that collectors actively seek. Interior is lined in genuine red leather, offering three structured pockets, two main storage compartments, and the attached coin purse for organization and authenticity.
The patent leather retains a deep, mirror-like shine with light wear, while the structured silhouette and hardware reflect the timeless Koret design language. Ideal for collectors, vintage fashion archivists, or high-end retro styling.
