Handbag

"This was my late Grandmothers handbag that she used to keep old photos in, that I used to love looking through when I was a child in the 1960’s. She was born at turn of century around 1900 and I would think the bag is from the 1920’s. I may even have a photo of her taken in O’Connell St carrying her much loved bag, that was probably the height of fashion at the time. She is dead now many years and so the bag is very sentimental to me. It's made from some type of animal hide with variegation on it, but not sure if it’s leather."
