I love the sweet bag on the left, and the story. I'd keep it too!
... I love this!!Oh dear no. But they are just lovely, covered in glitter and you hang them by the thread joining the two boots (a feature which for some reason I love). Mostly, they remind me of our wonderful Christmas when we were living in the States when my kids were little. Most of the other ornaments we brought back are long gone
I am pretty certain I am not getting any help here
It is a vintage H box Faco clutch. Just saw it by chance and I don’t need it. But I LOVE the colors, looks in great condition, will surely find a use for it and the seller accepted a (in my mind) very low offer...

I just love the handle of this bag - it's beautiful!I KNEW you'd be able to pin down the time period, @papertiger ! So interesting to read about the evolution of handbags during that decade. I was there, but much too young to pay attention. And my Mom was for sure not a handbag person.
Speaking of vintage (1950s, I think) it's been a while since I showed this fun clutch. It's made of a special fabric called cordé. The handle is lucite. This isn't a family heirloom; I bought it from a site that specializes in vintage bags. But there is a family story involved. My great-uncle Joe had a (very tiny) factory in New York that produced cordé evening bags. I learned about this from my Mom a few years ago. She told me that all the women in the family carried one of Uncle Joe's cordé evening bags… even she did, and she wasn't particularly interested in bags! Of course, hers was long gone, so off I went to snag my very own.

(does your phone fit in it?)
It does! And that's unusual for vintage evening bags. This one is quite deep.
That's amazing! I bought a very pretty vintage metallic bag - so cute and has a clear divider and a kiss lock clasp - and my phone doesn't fit in it...
I am #teamhandle with the Astra but that is because I bought it primarily with the idea of using it as a top-handle satchel rather than as a shoulder or crossbody bag. I really like the look of it, too. I think it would also look great without the handle as well -- very streamlined and would emphasize the east-west shape more. You could ask him to attach the straps on the side of the bag (he did this for someone else). He has lovely hardware for the side attachment.
Congrats! Love the falco! And if you ended up getting rid of your BV pouch, then you needed a clutch!
I am trying to get rid of my BV pouch. Not an easy sell
! All the other bags I have put on sale the last weeks (I’ve been good) have gone in days. Not this... But in any event, believe me, I could get rid of a few clutches and still not need one 
.Do you have a Faco?
Still thinking about it...

What a nice story about the fabric! The lucite handle is gorgeous.

yep, i'm going to get one just biding time, until my personal shopper can travel again. the cost of the bag is about 40% cheaper than getting it state side.
i ask myself this very question as some make "it's fake" statements while out and about running errands

What an absolute beauty, a work of art. And of course, clutches were never more popular than in the '30s/'40s. That lucite looks magical.
In that case I may have one of your uncles bags too! If I remember correctly, my cordé is milk chocolate brown and more boxy but totally adorable. If I come across it I'll post a pic.

That is pretty good going and so festive, loving that crackle-metallic

Do you have a Faco?
Still thinking about it...
Get it. My 1938 (almost the same buy more rounded tongue) is favourite clutch, I even wore it on the red carpet to an award ceremony.
People are so blasé. Stick a logo on a piece and cardboard and they salivate. Makes no sense.
Thank you!
It is very well made, and I adore the leather interior. It is very shiny, making it a perfect sparkly pop... I could even tuck the chain strap inside the bag and carry it as a clutch if needed - it's very versatile on top of everything else!
