Plastic Sequined Poodle Purse. Maker: Claire Fashions. 1960s. Large, square, off-white nubby fabric handbag covered entirely in plastic—just like your grandma’s couch. Features a boy poodle and a girl poodle covered in blue and pink sequins, respectively. The boy is handing the girl a bouquet of flowers. How sweet! Gold “feet” at the bottom of the purse. Gold vinyl lining. Vinyl handles. Some water damage, which I’ve seen on a lot of laminated-type bags. In fact, I have TWO Claire Fashions poodle purses and both have similar wear and tear. The differences are in the shape and the poodles’ neckwear (pearls on the square bag; beads on the round). I know this is Vintage Purse (singular) a Day, but if you scroll down, you can see them plural. My dog Sirius likes the round version better. Maybe he thinks it’s a Frisbee.
