Mama's Got A Brand New Bag!

Warning: Vintage peeps, you will be jealous. BIG TIME.
Sorry.

This is my bargain of the decade. I say decade because I really can't remember the last time I scored so wonderfully well on something I love so much.

The details: A 1950's lucite purse / handbag. This is special because not only is it in a rarer barrel shape, but it's GOLD glitter and sparkly!   Click on the pics to see it in all her glory! 

The lady I purchased it from said her Mother originally bought it in Paris in the 50's and promptly put it into the wardrobe as she loved it too much to use. It's in almost mint condition. 'Almost' because the woman who sold it to me dropped it a few days before I got it, causing a crack to form around one of the handles.   DOH!  Otherwise, it's in perfect condition without even any wear to the feet on the bottom.  When she named her price I almost dropped dead.

How much?? $25!!!
