Faux lizardskin hand painted 1940s oval box handbag with plaited handle

Style - Structured 1940s faux lizard oval box shaped handbag with plaited handle, and interior pocket (may have contained a hand mirror at some point).

Era - 1940s

Fabric - textured plastic, faux lizardskin.

Colour - pale creamy yellow with hand painted grey depicting lizard skin.

Label - Imported plastic, made in NSW by Andrews leisuregoods.
