Vintage 1970s Patriotic Plastic Woven Purse
This is such a cute preppy purse from the 1970s. It is made from wood that has been covered in plastic and woven. It has “brass” fittings (including feet).

Size is 11½” (29cm) x 7″ (17.8 cm) x 3½” (9cm)

It is lined with what feels like a cotton fabric. Two interior pockets (one a zippered pocket).

Condition: good. There are a few stitches coming out of the lining. One handle has a few stitches that has come loose. One spot where the plastic is broken (but not noticeable unless you look for it)
