This 40's Du Bonnette "ACCORDION PURSE" is one of the most sought after vintage purses. Not only because of the UNIQUE style but these handbags did not travel through time well and very few are in good condition. This stunning purse was a great time traveler and there is only one small crack on one botton corner of one of the Lucite bars which can only be noticed under close inpection. The bar is still strong and workable. All the carnival beads are intact. The color is phenomenal in deep iridescent hues of forest green. The Lucite accordion works perfectly and stretches out to show off the three separate compartments lined in black satin. All the bars pivot perfectly on brass hinges. Two of the compartments have a slash pocket trimmed with gold piping. The back compartment has a zippered pocket. Anna Johnson features this style purse on page 191 in the “Power of the Purse”. MARVELOUS and SO RARE!
