Item description for Chainmail Vintage 1970's Handbag Purse

Vintage chainmail (chainmaille) handbag from the 1970's. An off-white handbag with multiple inside pockets, double strap handles, wide bottom. Used only one summer, then packed away with all the other vintage purses and handbags in the bottom of her closet.

Purse measures 11" W x 8" H x 4" Bottom width
Color: White/Off White
Material: Chainmail and Leather/vinyl

CONDITION: Metal Chain-mail is white. (Please see photos)Vinyl handbag was an off white, but may also have some yellowing or discoloration due to age.All the zippers work, and the chainmail is in fair condition, not broken or loose. Some worn areas at handles and edges. "she" had to have this to match the earrings and necklace she also "had" to have. (wore those maybe once), although she apparently got some use out of this handbag purse, because it does show signs of wear, and mionor cracking on the bottom and side, the handles are worn close the the brass fittings, but that could have been from "being in the bottom of her closet, collecting dust... since the 1970's!!)

We are a bit unconventional and have always worked together on one thing or another, so After 47 years of marriage, having accumulated many treasured collections from our many adventures and ever changing interests, we had a discussion about who's collections were better, more... collectible... and now that we have a spare bedroom, we discussed who would get the room... So we made a bet. If His collectibles are more popular, he gets to turn the spare bedroom into a man cave... If Her collectibles are more popular, she gets to turn the spare bedroom into a she-shed. So we will see who wins the bet when the dust settles and the closets and shelves and boxes of treasures are finally empty.
