Adorable & intricate in its design, this is a completely authentic carpet bag from the late 60's or early 70's.
This bag is clearly hand made. It has no labels or traces of a label.
Inside is lined with black vinyl. Very, very clean. No stains or damage. But still, it's home sewn vinyl from the 60's so it's not the most gorgeous purse lining you've ever seen style-wise.
2 outside zipper pockets with an open interior pouch. Zippers have wide brass pulls, so indicative of the time & very cool. They work perfectly.
Shoulder length strap in matching needlepoint carpet fabric with a plain, solid black fabric backing.
In excellent condition. No holes, stains, damage, defects or flaws of any kind. No musty old odors either & from a smoke free home.
12" long x 10" high x 3" wide. Strap is 28" long for a top to bottom length of 24" when carried on the shoulder.
Bag is super colorful; off-white, olive green, avocado green, chartreuse, gold, light pink, fuchsia, yellow ocher, orange, light blue, black, red, navy.... the color work is exquisite and very cleverly designed.
It's all different sized and shaped patchwork squares with a different design in each one, all geometric in nature but there's flowers, sunburst, loop de loops and tribal inspired patterns.
I believe the fabric is some type of hand-done needlework, rather than a typical carpet remnant, (needlepoint, cruel work or cross stitch??) but you'll have to judge for yourself!
