Vintage - Bienen-Davis Clutch/handbag

wonderful vintage bienen-davis handbag with clutch inside Durable coated canvas exterior and nylon lining. 3 pockets and 1 zipper pocket inside the clutch. 2 compartments on either side of clutch. Meet Bienen-Davis handbags. Founded in 1931, closed in 1976 and relaunched in 2017, these handbags are so expertly designed and constructed that the Metropolitan Museum of Art included one of their bags in the museum’s permanent collection. Founded by Herbert Bienen and resurrected by his great-nephew, Richard Bienen, Bienen-Davis bags were standouts of 20th-Century fashion. It’s easy to be confused by the bag’s often times simple, but unique, designs which are accompanied by a hefty price tag (they range from $1500 to upwards of $5000), although, once these handcrafted handbags are on one’s person, it becomes quite clear there is nothing like it on the market.
