60s Mod Orange Leather Round Shoulder Bag Crossover Purse Bag Carnaby Street Hand Made Handmade Artisan by Carnaby Street

I bought this at a "jumble sale" when I lived in London, in the late 60s. No labels. It could have been hand made by an artisan, as a lot of crafting went through a revitalization phase in the late 60's. There is a stain inside, but it is not visible on the outside.

No lining. maybe it came out, but I suspect there never was one. One would be easy to make and insert (Paisley?) . This is a true fashion history piece. Imagine how amazing it will look with a Mod suit or minidress, maxi-dress, skirt, etc.

I tried fitting a small and a mid-sized cell phone with no case in it, and the small one fit no problem. The midsize JUST fit. Go by measurements. Brass fittings could be polished, but I like them as they are. A zipper toggle could also be added. Also, if you swap out the one brass ring for a slightly larger one, the end of the strap that has a clip, could be "threaded" through the larger ring, and could be re-clipped to convert as a double strapped hand bag, instead of a shoulder bag.

The purse has been used for a few fashion shows, since I got it, but I rarely took it out. There is a lentil sized scuff on the bottom .

Purse measures 6. 5" across. The handle end to end measures 34. 5" long. The width is 1".
