Circa 1980 - 1990

France

A precious minaudière, a small evening bag with handles and a shoulder strap from Lanvin, dating from the 1980s-1990s. Cardinal red silk velvet, embossed with small crocodile-style relief patterns. This small trapezoid-shaped minaudière has hinged gussets in gold-plated metal and a cube-shaped jewellery clasp entirely set with rhinestones. Two gold-plated metal clasps for the shoulder strap, which can be removed depending on use. Black vinyl canvas lining with red square engraved with Lanvin Paris, made in Italy. No flaws to note apart from tiny crease marks on the corners, this vintage clutch bag must not have been used much. Very good overall condition in terms of colour and preservation.

Dimensions: 24 cm high including handles, 15 cm at the base, 8 cm wide. Length of handle (shoulder strap version) approximately 52 cm.
