1950s structured handbag forms
A small, structured handbag with a distinctive curved silhouette reminiscent of a shield or tulip shape. The bag features a rigid frame construction with a hinged clasp closure at the top and two thin handles that form a single loop. The surface appears to be covered in pale blue dupion silk with a subtle sheen and textured weave characteristic of this fabric. The bag sits on small feet at the base, elevating it slightly from surfaces. The geometric form and minimal ornamentation reflect 1990s design sensibilities, where clean lines and architectural shapes were favored in luxury accessories. The compact size suggests it was designed as an evening bag for formal occasions.
