Does anyone know the name of this bag? I saw one recently for sale and am interested, but would love to know more about the name, history, and possible years it was produced?
I am pretty sure that the one I saw was from the late 1950s or early 1960s, but that's about the extent of it.
Thanks in advance for any insight you could offer!!

Thank you, ladies!! HermesGroupie, you seriously amaze me. How in the world do you know all of this? Do you have a series of old catalogs, or a super bible or something? You are so awesome.

I love it too, I'm just not really sure about pulling the trigger, partly because I have already bought two black bags in the past week!! :shame: I might have to let one of the others go if I go for this one.
By the way, I believe this one to be pre-1970 because there's no "Made in Paris" under the embossing inside the bag, and I found a mark inside but I can't be sure if it's a date stamp (no circle or square around the letter).

Thanks again for the quick responses, and for the enabling, LOL.
