Found this in a local charity shop, its everything I love about vintage. Have been told its probably made from stingray or sharkskin and may date from 1930s or 40s. Inside,just to add to my joy,was an envelope dated 1946,a clothing coupon from wartime,a suspender belt clasp and even an unsmoked Rollie!…how I would love to know more about this bag and its previous owner.just as a footnote,the manager of the shop found the bag out in the bins as staff thought it was not sellable. Mon Dieu!!
