Your Grandmother's Kitchen...

LC's Cottage put together this chock-full-of-charm collection of Etsy wares.  Reminds me of baking alongside my aproned Gramma... who could roll out egg noodles as thin as parchment.  A skill I was never able to match... even with her rolling pin.

Vintage 50s Coblentz Evening Clutch, Embroidered Rose

Stunning 1950s/1960s evening bag by Coblentz for Saks Fifth Avenue. Black and gold iridescent fabric with tiny diamond shapes and single embroidered rose in varying shades of pink. Envelope style clutch opens to reveal second snapping envelope pocket. The black satin interior compartment has mirror pocket with original 2 1/2 x 3 1/2" mirror marked "Saks Fifth Avenue" (in its original packaging). Slat pocket and tethered coin purse are both lined with red satin. The original tag is attached which reads "Saks Fifth Avenue" and the price, 29.95. Truly an amazing find.

There is some light wear to exterior fabric due to age and storage so I can't describe this as Mint. However, this is in incredible condition with original contents intact.

Vintage Condition: Excellent
