Black Stretch Knit Baguette with 3-D Gold Floral Motif. 1960s.
Maker: Unknown, possibly Caron. Lovely black baguette-shaped bag covered in
soft stretch Jersey knit fabric and then embellished with three-dimensional
gold flowers, leaves, bugle beads and black trim. Coordinating strap. Gold
hardware. Plain on the inside.
Caron of Houston made a lot of purses with this mixed-media
approach, which is why I think it might be one of theirs. The labels were glued
in and not sewn in, so it’s possible the label was lost. Scroll down to see
more of my similar bags, whose makers are Caron, Soure and Spilene. And feel
free to totally dig that crazy cancan girl painting, which I got years ago at a
thrift store.
