Heart shaped bag, 1945-1955


Heart shaped bag, 1945-1955
It was not common for young girls to carry bags until the 1950s. Instead small items such as a handkerchief were kept in concealed pockets or stowed in a muff. This bag was made in America. Its stylised shape and applied white felt decoration is typical of 1950s styles.
