Fab vintage Welsh wool tapestry handbag in mustard, black & white. Clasp to top. Leatherette trim & handle. Soft body. Lovely old 1960s Welsh dragon label inside. Good condition for age.
Back in the day there were 300 working woollen mills in Wales & most would have had a shop with a Tailoress who made clothing & accessories. They would also sell lengths of the wool fabric to small fashion houses like Mari Lwyd, Dillad Coracle, Celtique & Eclipse. Handbags & purses were very popular with tourists. The mills sadly have dwindled to single figures so you would be wearing a bit of Welsh & midcentury fashion
