One of their deals bags is currently showing in the V & A Museum in London. In a time of rationing and material shortages, this bag would have been a real luxury item. It is characteristic of the smart, neat and stylish, but retrained, designs of the time. Styles for handbags at this time were usually large and structured like this one.
