Whiting and Davis Alumesh
40s Vintage Cream Metal Mesh Bead Handbag$48.00
A cream 1940s Whiting And Davis Alumesh large metal mesh handbag with two handles.
A flexible metal mesh bead bag for daywear.
A few flaws present.
The bag opens with a hinge and it is lined in fabric and it has a small pocket with the brand label.
Even the handles are metal mesh and are 6" long.
Detailed measurements:
Height - 8 inches
Width - 9 inches
Strap Length - 6 inches
An unusual metal mesh bag since it is more for daywear and not an evening bag.
It has a few flaws that are not terribly detracting for its age.
It has aged to a deeper cream, almost pale yellow. Especially at the top of the frame.
The one side has a dark abrasion at the bottom, which may rub off. See the photos. I have not worked on it.
Priced accordingly.
