Every piece is hand-selected, cleaned, and described using over 20 years of vintage experience. When a listing says a piece is vintage, it is vintage. If an item isn't as described, I'll refund you in full, including shipping.
Vintage Condition
Every piece here is pre-loved and often decades old, so expect gentle signs of age and use, like light scratches, softened plating or finish, small marks, or patina. That's part of each piece's history and charm, and nothing will look fresh off a showroom floor.
Anything beyond normal wear, such as chips, cracks, repairs or damage, is always pointed out in the description and shown in the photos. If an item arrives with a flaw I didn't mention, my return policy has you covered.

Tropic of Miami White Wicker Box Purse | Beaded Velvet Floral Panel | Pearlized Lucite Handles & Top | 1960s Florida Handbag
$68.00
Remember when a handbag was a little piece of art? This 1960s box purse was made by Tropic of Miami, Florida, one of the makers behind the famous Florida wicker-and-Lucite bags. It's white painted wicker with a pearlized white Lucite top and handles, and the front is a plush velvet floral panel worked in glass seed beads: a lavender flower, a pink rose and blue-green vines and leaves on a cream ground.
- Material: Painted wicker, pearlized Lucite (acrylic), cut velvet with glass seed beads, gold-tone metal hardware, vinyl lining
- Maker: Tropic, Miami, Florida, with an orange woven label inside
- Era: About the 1960s
- Color: White with cream, lavender, pink, blue-green and olive
- Size: 10 1/2" wide x 8" tall (without handles) x 4" deep; handle drop 4"
- Details: Two pearlized Lucite handles, Lucite top trim and diamond-shaped clasp tab with a gold-tone turn lock, gold ric-rac trim, gold-tone feet, and a zippered pocket inside
- Condition: Very good vintage condition. A few beads are missing at one corner of the beaded panel, where loose threads show. One inside corner seam of the lining has come apart. There's light wear to the velvet and some marks on the wicker and the lining, consistent with age. Please see all photos.
