This striking vintage Italian-style black leather hard box handbag features a unique gold-tone plaque listing famous European resorts: Capri, St. Moritz, Lido, Riviera, and Biarritz. Crafted from genuine leather, this purse has a structured, briefcase-style silhouette, and a magnetic clasp closure opening to a partitioned suede-like interior with multiple pockets. The bag is in good condition overall, consistent with its age. Please note a small tear in the handle (clearly shown in the photos) and some minor surface wear on the leather and interior lining. This rare collectible box bag is perfect for formal events or as a unique statement accessory.
