30s Vintage Leather Art Deco Envelope Clutch Bag Dance Purse Loop Handle Brown

Circa 1930's brown leather envelope clutch purse with snap flap. Unfussy daytime bag with smooth geometric lines of the Art Deco period. Loop handle on back allows it to be carried securely or strung onto a belt or sash like a dance bag. Features multiple interior sections to accommodate the newly on-the-go woman outside of the home - kiss lock coin pouch and zippered bill compartment. Other period details: Bell-shaped zipper pull is stamped "Germany", D-shaped zipper stops, United Carr snap with spring ball. Could also be '40s, but the Germany-made U.S. zipper makes me think pre-war. Bag shows wear, but is in good shape considering its age! Usable condition. Leather is supple, I cleaned and conditioned it. Beautiful rich color and character, flaws do not detract. Corner and edge wear. There are slits in the leather flap, possibly a decorative metal badge used to be there. Functional hardware. Stitching is intact. The lining is discolored and shredding in spots. It had gotten wet, causing the fabric (rayon?) to shrink and pull. This has curved the leather flap a bit too, visible in 3rd photo after video. The cardboard pocket supports are creased/warped from the water as well. One hole in lining at bottom. Fabric around kisslock metal frame is worn through in spots. The zipper pulls a little hard because the track is wavy from fabric shrinkage. Still functional. Cosplay belt bag wood witch huntress elf western cowgirl prairie Edwardian flapper WWII
