Joseph Horne Co's women’s beige and brown, leather, lucite and wood top handle bag.
This beauty comes with tags. Was never used. Found stored away. A lovely lacquered wicker. Lucite honey swirled handle and an amazing Chinese junk boat on the front. Each piece of the lucite is hand wired onto the purse. Turn lock clasp with lucite backing Brass feet with leather binding. Lined in cream plastic. Zipper pocket. Matte goldtone hardware.
A most unusual shape being a tall standing rectangle and then the boat. Never seen one like it. I've only seen one other with this shape and it was a Stylecraft one.
Made in Hong Kong for the Joseph Horne Co, based in Pittsburgh ( a regional department store)
Measures 9 x 7 inches not including handle
Depth is 4 inches
Excellent condition overall. The wicker is perfect. The few flaws are one metal loop for the handle is slightly bent. Also on the inside rim of one handle there are some small chips along the edge. Last, on the underside of the clasp where the rivets are attached, the metal has some scratches but these do not show and this is more than likely how it came being hand assembled.
New condition, size OS.
