Beautiful vintage floral handbag made by Modell Jolles of Austria. This is a much larger size than most I have come across. Dimensions are as follows: 12.5 inches wide x 7.75 inches tall x 4 inches in depth at the bottom and tapers inward to 3/4 inches in depth at the top.

In excellent vintage condition. There is a bend in the base of the purse creating a visible crease at the bottom of the bag (see photos). This is a very well maintained and substantial piece.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
