Vintage Lucite


If you are handbag obsessed like we are, then you know there is just something so stunning about a vintage Lucite purse. These delicate little items became popular in the 1950’s and are still a panache symbol of that decade. Lucite handbags and ‘compact’ purses were the ultimate luxe item, and they came styled to suit the glamorous women who attended cocktail parties and elegant dinners out. Some of our favorite Lucite designers are Charles Kahn and Wilardy. Their high-end examples remain true works of wearable art.
