Presenting a distinctive trapezoidal cloud silhouette, the hand-pleated leather panels gather into a heavy-gauge brushed silver-tone metal internal frame, secured at the apex with a large minimalist rectangular kiss-lock clasp block. The single wide leather top strap is artfully integrated through the back panel loop, opening to a spacious deep-vault interior lined in a durable brown faille fabric with a built-in side slip pocket. A piece full of character and architectural mid-century charm, its earthy tones and structured metal frame make it a striking accessory to pair with vintage linen dresses or classic tailored winter trench coats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis item represents the classic mid-century frame handbag aesthetic that dominated international and regional South African department stores during the late 1960s and 1970s. The bag is expertly crafted from a durable, heavy-grain pebbled calfskin leather treated with traditional oil-tanning processes to achieve maximum suppleness and a natural texture. While this piece remains physically unmarked by a specific manufacturer's stamp, its heavy internal spring-tension steel frame and raw-edged handle assembly align with traditional mid-century leather benchmarking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginal Intended Use: Classic day handbag or dress purse. Alternate Suggested Use: Mid-century styling piece or structural vanity organizer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shift2ThriftVintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46985997156550,"sku":"Listing 069-August-2026","price":595.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/2163\/2198\/files\/IMG_3149.jpg?v=1787923333","url":"https:\/\/shift2thriftvintage.co.za\/products\/bags-tan-pebbled-leather-framed-kiss-lock-top-handle-bag","provider":"Shift2ThriftVintage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
