Rare and stunning, this mid-century authentic exotic skin handbag was originally retailed at the legendary Washington, D.C. luxury department store, Julius Garfinckel & Co. This highly collectible, structured evening bag features a glossy, deep brown reptilian finish (snakeskin/lizard) with elegant gold-tone hardware plates accenting the double top handles. It stands as a beautiful, high-quality statement piece of mid-century fashion history.

Very good vintage condition. The skin is beautifully intact with a gorgeous shine (There is a tiny spot of discoloration that can easily be touched up and also a tiny nick on one side), and the structured shape remains firm. Hardware holds securely. Please review all high- photos for the exact cosmetic condition and details.

Well‑preserved and carefully maintained, this bag is odor‑free and comes from a smoke‑free home. Please feel free to reach out with any questions prior to purchase!
