1930s 1940s Brown Purse with Bold Brass Chain Link Strap - Chic 30s 40s Felted Wool Handbag - Modernist Deco Bag - Unworn NOS Deadstock

Terrific 1940s brown wool handbag with a modernist Deco feel to the brass metal chainlink at center strap. It's a wartime 40s purse with gathers along the zippered closure and a rounded shape in a cute silhouette, meant to be worn as a handbag (not on the shoulder). The interior is brown satin faille. Never worn deadstock!
