Lucite and Woven Raffia Box Purse. 1950s. Maker: Marcus
Brothers of Miami. Fantastic oblong box purse with milk-white Lucite top,

Lined in pink rayon. Pink-painted wood bottom.
These types of purses are getting much harder to find, hence
they are really expensive when you do. I managed to get a good deal on this one
(around $30, plus shipping), and when it arrived in the mail, it took my breath
away. So pretty!
