An exquisite hand-tooled-leather purse with intricate floral-rose decorations! • Two main compartments with third center metal-zip pouch, a smaller metal-zip side pouch, a small inner side pouch and an open pouch on each side of the exterior • Made completely of leather—lining is leather, handle is leather • Brass twist-clasp closure • Brass feet; purse stands on its own • Even beautiful tooled patterns along bottom and width! *sigh* So, pretty!

ERA: 1960s LABEL: Avelar MATERIAL: genuine leather ORIGIN: Made in Mexico SIZE: 11x8x3.25" STRAP DROP: 11" CONDITION: Excellent condition! A tiny bit of rub wear on the brass pieces but is so minimal that purse appears to be unused!
