HANDBAG

Crêpe is a particular weave of a fabric that was popular during the 1930s for fashionable garments and accessories. The bias-cut dresses of the period, which clung to the contours of the body, were made more practical by the ‘give’ afforded by crêpe fabrics. This bag in crêpe de chine is embroidered with tiny floral sprigs reminiscent of late eighteenth-century silks and cottons.
