Terminology regarding the condition of the Vintage Handbags:
Please remember when buying vintage purses there are normally minor imperfections 
 unless these are very noticable or detract from the style or attractiveness of the item they are not normally mentioned.
LOOKING FOR PERFECTION - VINTAGE IS NOT FOR YOU!

(Mint Condition) MINT - As close to "new" as possible for its age. No problems.
(Excellent Condition)
Normal wear expected for age. Any problems are not easily visible.
(Gently Used)
Normal wear expected for age. Shows very minimal wear
(Used) A purse that was used everyday. Not abused.... but used, shows more noticeable wear.

(Rest assured I do not sell handbags that are not attractive or fit to carry.)

An exquisitely beautiful 50's steel cut handbag. It is really hard to begin to describe this VERY RARE French handbag from the 50's designed by "Langlois & Jargens, 4 Rue Vaucanson, Paris". This weighty woven cut steel handbag is handmade in France and has an outstanding detailed deign that was a labor of love. The camera does not capture the luminous sparkle that the cut steel beads reflect. The flip top cap opens up to expose an interior is lined with rich white-colored satin with an open sidewall pocket on each sidewall. These handbags usually are displayed in a glass cubicle at high-end vintage shops since they are so rare. Especially this handbag since the condition is mint. The four I have listed came from a very meticulous collector, which I am very lucky to list for her. A TRUE VINTAGE TREASURE!
