large vintage retro genuine certified glomesh handbag

Written on Thursday, November 15th, 2007 :: 0 comments to this post

A great retro find! Highly sought-after, this is a genuine vintage Glomesh handbag, still with its original box and in lovely vintage condition. The bag is approx. 8.5″ tall and 10.5″ wide, with a lovely golden ‘rope’ style handle measuring about 15″ in total length. This unique item is in good vintage condition, with some subtle signs of aging - a few ’scuff’ marks on the metal mes, but this of course adds to the unique aged look of an older, classic item.

The ‘mesh’ of this bag is the larger type of squares with a rounded bulge to the front of them - it has a lovely way of moving in that loose swingy way that only genuine Glomesh bags have! This will look gorgeous with any vintage-inspired outfit, and is an excellent addition to any true fashionista’s wardrobe!

There are two pockets in the bronze-coloured lining, which has the ‘Glomesh - made in Australia’ label sewn on, and the bag comes in its original large official Glomesh box, which measures 9 x 11 inches. The box is in good condition with little wear and tear at the corners as would be expected, but is absolutely perfect for storing your favourite bag in, or even as a display or collectors piece on its own.

This bag is an absolute MUST for any lover of Australian made retro gear, Glomesh collector, or vintage victim!

We have several other genuine Glomesh and Oroton handbags to list over the coming weeks so make sure you add us as a favourite seller and keep checking our new items!
