Product Details

This specific handbag hook is a mid-20th-century vintage design, most commonly produced and popularized during the 1950s to 1970s. Era Breakdown Origin of Purse Hooks: While the concept of handbag caddies began in the 1920s and 1930s, they experienced a massive surge in popularity during the 1950s. This coincided with the post-WWII boom of formal dining and structured designer leather handbags that women wanted to keep off the floor. The Design Aesthetic: The gold-tone framing combined with a Victorian-revival floral motif (specifically the red rose graphic under glass or resin) is highly characteristic of affordable 1960s and 1970s fashion accessories. During this timeframe, often imported from Japan or Hong Kong.
