French Suede Vanity Purse

Les Creations Jeanne Bernard Paris Hand Made In France. Black suede vanity purse shaped like a mandolin, 1940's. Contains original celluloid and brass comb, which rests in its fitted slot between two brown silk compartments. The purse came with a brass compact and swansdown puff - I wasn't certain it was original until I saw the JB tag attached inside. The purse is 8-1/4" long. It has brass twisted wire that mimics mandolin strings, the suede is rolled at the end with a braided suede strap - all original.
