Duramesh Fifth Ave Evening Bag, Gold Metal Mesh order Handbag, Mid Century Ladies Fashion Accessory, Vintage Collectible Metallic Purse, Prom

A major competitor to Whiting & Davis in the mesh purse game, Duramesh Fifth Ave focused on the shape and style of the purse itself. And that focus is clearly evident in this beautiful example!

This lovely evening bag boasts a delightfully different oval shape; a pretty and fluid drape to the mesh; and a wonderful shimmer and shine. What more could you ask for?

This handbag is in very good vintage condition. The mesh itself is tight with no holes or dents and very, very minimal surface finish wear. I found one discolored tile - see photo four center. The scalloped, shiny gold metal frame is in great shape as well with very minimal scratching; however, the metal at the kiss lock balls do show some minor discoloration.

The inside frame is not stamped; however, there is a small tag sewn into the inside which is marked:

Duramesh
MADE IN U.S.A.

The light peach-colored satin lining is intact; in very good condition (save order a few minor, faint and scattered spots) and is securely attached to the frame. There are no interior pockets. The kiss lock closure, which is finished at the ends with large, bright and clear rhinestones, opens nicely and snaps tightly shut.

The bag measures 6 7/8" high from the top of the frame to the bottom edge by 5 3/4" wide at the widest part (by 4 1/2" at the frame) by 1/2" deep. The mid-weight, gold-tone rope chain handle is firmly attached and measures 10 1/2" long with a 4 3/4" drop.

The metal hanger pictured is for display purposes only and is not included.

A lovely piece for a special evening or a great addition to a collection.

Item price includes US Postal Service shipping with Insurance and / or Delivery Confirmation services.
