I love these huge purses, because I can carry all my junk in them. The only problem is that, with the passing of time and overuse, they can get ruined. I have a purse similar in size, shape and construction to this one—except it’s an Asian tapestry. I used it a lot, so the fabric eventually tore away from the backing, which I believe to be cardboard—not the most sturdy base for a purse.
While I do have some purses that are for display only, I always carry a vintage handbag when I go out. I guess I just have to rotate them more frequently!

Let me leap in with some comparanda - all sold, I'm afraid:
One from Delill-http://www.etsy.com/listing/17767881/vintage-60s-delill-arabian-scene-scenic
One allegedly from Soure -

One without a name - most like this one? -

*And*, I should say that both scenes on the second side you show appear on the other purses like this:

They look exactly the same as the fabrics used in a Maxim purse (the middle one), actually.
thanks for showing this!
