Designer Name: Hermès of Paris
Vintage Couture Hermès Handbag
Description: Hermès Vintage Black Ostrich Envelope Handbag

A rare and perfect vintage beauty!  The elegance of this handbag is unparalleled,  This Couture Hermès envelope bag from The Loretta Young Collection is styled from black ostrich skin in a envelope style with a fold over flap and a beautifully crafted “circle” gold tone push closure. 

The handbag opens to two pockets, with additional slash pockets in front and back of the interior.  The bag is lined with beautifully butter soft black calfskin leather.
There is a coin purse sewn along the back interior with a snap closure flap, plus a double slit pocket for a compact and vanity mirror - and the vintage mirror is still resting in that spot! Very convenient for touching up your glamorous make-up!  Vintage mirror included.  Hermès Paris is stamped in gold in the center of the leather divider in the center of the purse.

This bag has a handle 1” in diameter and wrapped in gorgeous black ostrich with a 6” drop.  The handle is anchored by gold tone half circles which mirror the design of the clasp.

Loretta loved French design, after all, she married a French Designer, Jean Louis :-).  Obviously she loved Hermès, what woman wouldn’t love this couture vintage bag.

Hermès is recognized for its handmade handbag collections. Hermès does not use assembly lines; only one craftsman may work on one handbag at a time. Due to the labor-intensive nature of Hermès production methods and the use of rare materials (sometimes including exotic skins as well as precious metals), one bag can take 18 to 24 hours to create. The construction of one bag, for example can require 18 hours of work by a single artisan.[6] Used for all Hermès leather crafting, the finest leather animal skins reside in the leather storage facility in Paris. Such leathers include those of alligator from Florida,  lizard from Malaysia, and oxen, deer, calf, goat, and ostrich from all over the world. The leathers are professionally treated (dyed in every color, pattern, and texture imaginable) and handcrafted into stylish accessories. Bags made popular through high-profile clientele include the "Kelly Bag", named after Grace Kelly for her many appearances with it (first introduced in the 1930s), and the Trim shoulder bag preferred by Jacqueline Bouvier Onassis. Vintage Hermes bags remain in consistent demand and are coveted by fashion devotees around the world.
