Some History of the Patricia of Miami Company:
In 1953 Morty Edelstein, formerly of Llewellyn, purchased Bag by Benne and opened up a new firm, Miami Handbag Mfg., Inc. (not the same as
the firm "Florida Handbags"). They made unbreakable handbags under the new trademark of, Patricia of Miami, which was named for Mrs. Edelstine. They were know for their curly cue clasp as you can see in this particular handbag.
