One bag, two completely different looks — and the genius is in the flip. This Lowy & Mund evening bag features a convertible cover that is black velvet on one side and black grosgrain on the other. Detach it from the gold-tone brass frame by slipping the loops off the knobs, turn it around, reattach — and you have an entirely different bag. Wear it as a clutch by tucking the handle inside, or let the delicate gold-tone snake-chain handle out for handbag mode. Four looks, one piece.
The construction is everything you'd expect from a quality mid-century American evening bag: rocking-latch top closure, gold-tone brass frame, a satin-lined interior with an inner pocket for cards and cash, and a removable snake-chain handle that tucks away cleanly. The original maker's mark is stamped inside the pocket — "L and M, Bags by Edwards, Made in U.S.A." — along with a U.S. patent number, a testament to the originality of the convertible design.
Lowy & Mund was a respected manufacturer of stylish American handbags in the 1940s and 50s, and their Bags by Edwards line is a collectible name in mid-century accessories. Measures 6" tall x 9.5" wide x 2.125" deep, 1 lb. Ships from Altadena, CA.
