40's Genuine Alligator Clutch$111.00
I really do love a vintage bag, especially one as unique as this one! From the 40's or early 50's, it's a divided clutch that features gator arms that are placed so that when you hold it, they nestle next to your hands. It really is such an interesting little handbag, I knew I had to have it in my shop. From a Palm Beach estate, I can only imagine the fun parties it has been to over the years!

~CONDITION:
Very, very good vintage condition. The only thing that keeps it from being excellent is some worn corners, which I've shown in a close up shot. Oh! And a couple of the little claws have gone MIA as well, which I think is probably best so your hands don't get poked. The leather was a little dry when it came to me (which is no shock, since it's 60-70 years old), so I conditioned it to revive it.
As ever, I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.
