Framed Vintage 1990s Selectadisc Record Shop Plastic Bag – Nottingham London

OK, so it might not quite qualify strictly as "vintage" but it certainly feels like a piece of memorabilia from a bye-gone age now. If you were a teenager in Nottingham or its surrounding area in the 1980s or 1990s, then you might immediately recognise this bag. As iconix as the shop fronts which bore the same design, perhaps. This bag dates slightly later than the original Nottingham shop(s), as it include the later Soho London store's details. The same store which featured on the cover of Oasis' 1995 album "(What's The Story) Morning Glory?".

The bag - measuring 34cm by 39cm - has been paired with a pre-owned Sixtrees frame which has a plain white surround and provides a suitable and understated complement to the bag and the record shop branding.

French Art Nouveau Design Leather Clutch Bag by Brevete

A leather clutch bag with Art Nouveau design made by Brevete of France, and which most likely dates back to the period, making this a genuine antique. The lightly tooled design was originally painted - there are now-faded remnants of colours, pink and green - and features typical flower motifs against a darker background and it has been monogrammed with the letters "NW". The bag also features a suitably-designed clasp with an orange circular raised "button" in a plastic-type material forming part of the decoration. The underside of the metal half ring which opens and closes the clasp bears the name "Brevete".

The bag has been repaired in several places in its long history, most recently by us to stabilise and make good the outer binding which runs across the edges of the bag and the flap. An interior fabric compartment would benefit from some attention to re-attach one corner of it to the bag, but the main leather divider inside the bag is in good shape. There are considerable signs of age and wear to the bag, but the leather has been re-conditioned and feels good, and structurally the bag feels sound. The handle is similarly sturdy and feels suitable for continued use.

The bag measures approximately 26cm (10¼ in.) by 16cm (6¼ in.) and without contents is about 2cm (¾ in.) deep, with the sides able to expand to approximately 5cm (2 in.).

1950s Elbief (“LBF”) Green and Gold Clutch Bag

A very stylish evening purse/clutch bag made by Elbief (a.k.a "LBF") in England and dating from the 1950s. This sophisticated looking bag has a flecked green and gold fabric body with chic black vinyl sides and a shiny gold-coloured lining. The bag is finished off with a gold-coloured metal clasp and top and it's all in very good shape considering its age and the clasp is sturdy and secure. The metal is showing one or two signs of use, but when you look this sharp overall you're allowed a bit of latitude!

Measures 20cm by 10cm by 2.5cm at its widest (8in by 4in by 1in).
