Catalog: Women's Vanity

This is a neat vintage handbag – it’s a “magazine” purse -- and the magazine is "Ele’gance, Paris".

It has been much used and exterior has scuffs, scratches, etc. Interior is clean (it has a circular white mark on pocket that is not detrimental). Handbag is priced to reflect the “use” evidence.

Vintage magazine handbags are becoming more and more difficult to find. This one is a nice purse to actually use or would be a very nice display item.

This is a super neat French parfums listing! The back of box states:

PARFUMS DE FRANCE, Made bottled and sealed in France, Net cont. Perfume 5/6 Fl. oz., Net cont. Bath oil 1/4 Fl. oz.

The box has two "sections" -- the lift off lid section and a "drawer" that is opened by pulling on the blue, white, and red ribbon...

Ready for gift giving or to add to a handkerchief collection, this is a clever and attractive display item!

Still in the original box (apparently never removed) is a paper doll lady (top only) with a hanky folded like a skirt, she “wears” a ribbon stole, and folded neatly on one side of the box are 5 more hankies!

I’ve collected hankies for many years and this is the only paper doll hanky lady I’ve seen...

This is a neat Collins of Texas shoulder style handbag titled “Bountiful”!

Linen purse is in very good condition – I noticed 3 of the small gold flowers are missing.

Inside of purse has “Copyright, The original Collins of Texas, Inc.”.

Very nice collectible and usable handbag priced to reflect the missing small flowers!

Thank you for visiting Lin's Antiques at Cyberattic!

The colors on these 6 hankies are so pretty! Each hanky has a fall leaves theme and each is in wonderful condition.

The blue one has a small separation at the hem and this hanky is not included in the count but I will include it with the others at no charge.

These hankies are so colorful with gorgeous fall leaves!

As with all my hanky and linen listings, these have been laundered, lightly starched and ironed (by me) and are from a smoke free environment.

Handkerchiefs are in excellent condition. They are ready for use, to give as gifts, or for re-sale.

Neat purse that can be carried as clutch or shoulder bag! It’s silver color mesh (there are no missing pieces/it’s light reflection in photos) and has a silver color chain that can be folded inside the bag. Measures 6 ¼” x 5 ½” x 2 ¾” (those are closed measurements). Has interior label “Whiting & Davis, Since 1876”. There is a small discoloration at bottom on one side that is not detrimental and can be seen in photo if you look closely...

This hanky listing has 5 larger size handkerchiefs...

These two Longaberger handbags are in new, unused condition (without tags) and are often referred to as "Mother and Daughter Handbags".

They are the same design with bamboo style round handles and both are in the pretty Majolica Garden canvas type material. One is the medium size and the other is the small or mini size.

The larger one measures 10 3/4" x 8", has a zippered pocket and two smaller open pockets (or divided pockets)...

This is a lovely vintage handbag patented in 1953! This is a "rigid" reversible handbag -- one purse with alternate panels -- two looks in one purse!

The outer panel can be reversed (black vinyl on one side, beautiful tapestry on the other) or removed completely to show a basic black handbag! It has a clear lucite handle...

This is a beautiful beaded evening bag!

It is shell shaped and is covered with navy blue and iridescent beads. It has silver color metal frame and long (shoulder style) carry chain – the chain can be folded inside so purse becomes a clutch.

As often happens with this design, it has been closed on the chain causing a couple rough places about ½” from where it attaches to purse.

Handbag is in very good condition – all beads are present...

This listing has a super neat vintage celluloid hanky box that has been a part of my handkerchief collection for some time!

The box is in wonderful condition – it has a small chip on one corner. The interior lining has no holes or rips and appears to be original.

Box measures 5 3/8” x 5 3/8” and is 2 ½” tall.

Beautiful tatting edges on these twelve handkerchiefs!

I never knew how work intensive tatting was until I purchased a vintage “how to” book – no wonder tatting is becoming a lost art.

Hankies have been laundered (no pre-soak or spot treat), lightly starched and ironed (by me), and are from a smoke free environment...

Twelve lovely crochet edge handkerchiefs in this listing!

They have been laundered (no pre-soak or spot treat) and pressed and I am including 1 extra at no charge.

This is one of the prettiest beaded handbags we have listed! It measures 6 ¾” x 9 ¾”, 1 ½” wide (at bottom) and has a small fold over top with spring closure. Handbag is clean inside and out and all beadwork is present and secure. Inside has a “Made in Hong Kong” label, there is no other identification...

This is one of the prettiest hats we have in inventory! The lower portion is covered with dark purple/magenta feathers and the top is covered with light purple color feathers. Has label: Sears Fashion Millinery, Sears, Roebuck & Co., USA.

***This is such a special hat that I will include a vintage hat box for storage and protection – I don’t have a Sears hat box but you’ll be pleased with the one I choose.***

This listing has a gorgeous vintage handbag! It's black faux reptile and has gold tone metal top closure that’s accented with multi-color rhinestones.

Inside zippered pocket has “Meyers, Made in USA” and purse measures 6 ¾” x 8 1/8”.

Super condition – I noticed some wear to the gold color at the lift-up portion of the clasp – that’s it!

I recently purchased several beautiful vintage hats and this is one of those hats! The label has been removed from this hat but it is a Kangol hat made from the same material as our HAT244 (purchased at the same sale). Kangol hats were made in the United Kingdom.

I believe these hats are fur felt which does have fur content (probably rabbit). (See our HAT244 for further info/details.)
