Description

Set of 3 Vintage Handmade Coconut Shell Purses

A distinctive set of three vintage handmade purses, crafted from natural coconut shell and decorative materials.

Each purse has a rigid round body measuring approximately 8 cm (3.15 in) in diameter. The edges are finished with visible hand stitching, while each piece closes with a black zip.

The handles are composed of numerous strung decorative elements in natural shades of brown, ochre, reddish brown and darker tones. Small coloured beads decorate the zip pulls, adding to the individual handmade character of the set.

The reverse sides feature different figurative decorative designs. Natural variations in colour, texture, patina and construction make each purse slightly different.
