Nouveau Leather Handbag

Capacious burgundy leather handbag with curved panelling and a back zip pocket, echoing a simple late nineteenth-century design. It reflects the emergence of the handbag proper at the close of the century, a practical shift away from the smaller drawstring reticules previously carried by ladies, as changing fashions called for a roomier, more structured accessory. With a zip closure opening to two pouches and a zip pocket, fully lined, this handbag brings that practical design into everyday use. Handsome gift for anyone who appreciates classic, well-made leather accessories.
