I have seen ads for jewelry in Vogue in the 50's and clothing advertisements from 1946. Marilyn Monroe shopped there because a leopard skin pillbox hat and matching handbag were sold at auction, labeled Jay Thorpe. Beautifully decorated 3-dimensional clasp with green, red and blue cabochons on gold etched frame. Rhinestone clasp and chained link handle. You can only tell by looking with a magnifying glass, but I am a stickler for detail.
Stones consist of rounds and baguette.
Very mod style dull silver mesh bag, zip top and link chained handle. The handle is adjustable which can wear as one long chain or double shorter length. Bag is in excellent condition and extremely durable. Inside is lined with a taffeta material with pull side pocket. A very deco style clasp with button snap closure which leads me to believe bag could be as early as 30's or 40's, but it is hard to say.
