A beautifully proportioned, authentic 3-piece Art Deco alligator vanity evening bag set, dating back to the late 1920s or 1930s. This petite set features a highly structured silhouette, a heavy-gauge brass top frame, and a mechanical lift clasp.
What makes this find exceptional is that it retains its complete matching original interior accessories, which are almost always lost to time.

- Matching Alligator Coin Purse: A miniature kiss-lock coin pouch lined in leather, designed to fit perfectly inside the drop pocket.
- Gilded Compact Mirror: The original metal-trimmed mirror accessory scaled exactly for the bag's interior.
Interior Details:
The interior is lined in an authentic, high-quality golden-yellow pigskin leather featuring a dedicated drop pocket. The lining is clean, intact, and free of bad odors or severe staining.

This beautiful vintage set is structurally stable and displays excellently, with wear isolated to one specific area:
- Main Body & Alligator Panels: There is a small hole in one gusset, not visible when the bag is closed. Otherwise the main alligator skin panels are entirely intact and firm.
- Frame Trim (Peeling Area): The leather peeling is strictly isolated to the thin leather accent strip covering the upper metal frame.
- Handle & Strap: The braided top handle remains sound and securely attached, with the age wear limited to the superficial leather wrap right where it meets the frame attachment point.
- Hardware: The heavy brass frame opens and latches cleanly, showing a beautiful natural vintage patina.
Please review all provided high-resolution photos carefully to inspect the leather texture and the isolated frame wear. This is a magnificent, complete piece of fashion history perfect for a specialized collector or vintage enthusiast!
