Fabulous 1960s burnt orange handbag with single top handle and unusual twin twist brass closure.

Description

Fabulous 1960s burnt orange handbag with single top handle and unusual twin twist brass closure. Lined in brown watermarked moiré fabric, the main compartment is divided by a zipped pocket and there are two additional side pockets. We took a while to work out the closure mechanism, but you have to twist the buttons in an anti-clockwise direction! Measures 12” x 6½“ x 3”, in excellent vintage condition with no marks or scuffs.

Sizing

Customers are asked to bear in mind that vintage garment sizes bear little or no resemblance to contemporary sizes. Furthermore, current high street size labels are inconsistent, with M&S and Wallis being noted for their generous proportions while others come up on the small side.

Please always refer to the measurements provided in the item description rather than the garment label size, and note that any ‘best fit’ suggestion we make will be based on modern day sizing. By way of example, our own suggested standard size 12 dress has an underarm to underarm measurement of approximately 19" with a waist size of 30".

In order to best gauge the suitability of an item, you may find it useful to compare our stated measurements with those of one of your own garments which is a comfortable fit. Our garment measurements are taken with the item laid flat, and all sizes in our descriptions are approximate.
