Compact Purses - Fact & Tips

Pillow Top Mother of Pearl Compact Carry All Purse We Have More Compact Vanity Purses and Carry-alls   Oh my, this 1930's - 1940's compact carry-all is so very special with a radiant pillow top style mother-of-pearl front, enhanced with rows of pink and clear rhinestones. My photos are very good and express the true beauty of this vanity compact purse along with all it's marvelous and stylish qualities.

The pearl on this purse is gorgeous with lots of depth and character, changing tones with the lighting as you walk around the room, all eyes will admire this one.  The individual mother-of-pearl shell squares are arranged in a pillow top design with wonderful rectangular baguette pink rhinestones and round clear rhinestones. All stones are prong set and multi faceted for added glitz, all are secure in place. There are no flaws found, in fact, I can barely even find a scratch on the entire purse, it's simply divine.  This purse is cased in a gold tone metal and is carried with a snake type chain handle that drops about 4 inches. The metal is all bright and shining, no dents at all, it would be hard to find a carry-all in any better condition.

The interior, of course, is lovely with all of the original components, actually it is spotless and unused.  The mirror is in nice clear condition and pulls forward to reveal a cigarette compartment, perfect for carrying your favorite vintage hanky, credit card or money.  There is an attached lipstick tube, a cloth change holder with a celluloid comb in it's slot.  The powder well is clean and holds it's unused make-up puff. This carry-all even maintains it's little card explaining about the secret compartment, under the lift-up powder well.   This fabulous creation measures 5¼ in width by 3 in height, with a depth of ⅝ of an inch.  If you have been searching for that extraordinary mother of pearl shell  compact carry-all, please consider this exceptional example, you will love it.
