Vintage Handbags 1939 - 1946
You'll see some really gorgeous handbags in this section! World War II was happening. The handbag scene of 1939-1946 still carried some of the gorgeous vintage panache and style from the earlier Victorian and Flapper era's yet here we see some slightly different and a tad more modern handbag styles coming out.
Let's explore!
They are getting a little glitzier and a few different shapes are showing up. Not all are handmade anymore because now there are women in factories making them and getting paid ridiculously low wages for producing by the piece! Some handbags are still handmade however all are beautiful!
You'll find Art Deco suede purses, mesh purses with bakelite handles, straw box style and clutch purses, handmade beaded handbags, silk and button handbags, crocheted purses with lucite handles, lovely velvet handbags, gold and silver mesh rhinestone evening bags, and jeweled compact evening bags, to name a few.
There is so much here, please have fun and look around for the perfect vintage handbag for you! Guaranteed you won't be able to settle on just one!
