Roberta di Camerino fairy bag


Straw bag, 60's, Roberta di Camerino

measure in mm
This fairy bag by Roberta di Camerino is eccentric and elegant at the same time.
It looks like a decorated pic-nic basket case, with brass details to enrich a poor material such as straw.
The good quality of the manifacture is visible in the flexibility of the plots and in the butterflies' details.
The problem stands on the closure, which is just a little inwardly directed hook. It is not easy to unlock it because you do not have any hold.

The clutch has a very attractive style: the bakelite parts give an interest point, pleasing to the eye.
The structure of the bag is the usual wallet one, with one fold, and the latch needs a firm support, that is why the clutch is not very cozy for a lot of stuff.
The mechanism gives the possibility to highlight details, but needs some improvements, because (may be due to the age of the object) it doesn't lock stuck all the times.

The moving-handle bag



This bag has suddenly caught my attention.
There are big metallic parts which give a classy style to the bag, but that makes the bag too heavy to carry.
Looking at the handle: it is comfortable and it actually hasn't a big motion back and forth because of the roof shape of the bag.
