1920s bag in brass and bronze

1920-40, material brass bronze cork, cm 12x6 height 9

In a world of fast fashion, there’s something truly magical about accessories that carry the charm of a bygone era. This 1920s brass and bronze handbag is a breathtaking example of vintage artistry — a rare piece that tells a story of elegance, craftsmanship, and timeless allure.
The bag features a metallic body crafted from brass and bronze, creating a rich, antique finish that glows with understated luxury. The intricate clasp at the front adds an ornamental touch, evoking the Art Deco spirit of the Roaring Twenties — a decade known for opulence and bold design.
What makes this piece even more unique is its cork shoulder strap — a detail rarely seen in handbags, both then and now. The cork is woven into a beautifully textured design, adorned with small red bead accents that enhance its artisanal feel. This combination of metals and natural materials strikes a perfect balance between luxury and earthiness, making the bag not only a functional accessory but also a work of art.
The shulder strap is not original.
