I'm trying to ID this bag. It's suede (so high quality, I thought it could be velvet), turnlock and handle with diamonds? The stones are so nicely set... also has makers mark that I don't recognize. The inside reads: Evelyne la Boutiquiere... I can't find anything online with that name. Trying to decide if I should keep or not.
Hello,
I'm looking for information about this woman purse/handbag
when was it produced? 1960 1970? 1980?
The manufacturer is cheney from UK
I did not find it on ebay
what is the estimated value?
I think Cheney just made locks. Also what are those marks near the hw? Does it look as though there was different hw previously or is marks from when the lock closes?
I'd have to know the measurements of the bag/case, see the inside and a close-up of the handles, they look long for the bag from this angle.
Thank You very much for your answer
The dimensions of the bag are 43 cm wide, 31 cm high, bottom depth 16 cm, top 11 cm depth, other dimensions as in pictures

What do you mean by saying hw? I'm not familiar with abbreviations in English.
I wonder if this is the original, I have not seen anywhere on ebay or the internet.
I found this bag in my 90 year old aunt's house. In times when the purse was produced, my country (Poland) was reigning communism. I do not believe that at that time some manufacturer bought latches in the UK. On the other hand, Aunt never ever go abroad so I do not know where she got such an object from.
sorry for mistakes my English is not very good
Not at all, your English is fine
hw = hardware
I can't access you Google drive, I would need to see more pictures to tell you more.
