Vintage Handbags - 1930s Beaded Evening Clutch
| Chic 1930s Beaded Evening Clutch. Simple and elegant. All of the beaded evening bags currently on the site were carried by the Duchess of Leeds in the 1930s and 1940s to formal engagements in Paris, London, and New York. The Duchess was acquainted with Coco Chanel, Elsa Schiapparelli, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, et al. We found all of these bags tossed in a drawer along with numerous empty boxes of the same size from Cartier. Most bags from Cartier during this period were unmarked. During the war years the Duchess and her husband lived in the Claridge in London. The Duke worked as a UXB Bomb diffuser while the Duchess worked in secret as a nurse in a nearby hospital under a pseudonym. These bags sparkle with grace, elegance, and class. #110045 $55.00
