Every vintage piece is individually checked and described, with any notable age-related wear clearly detailed and photographed. Orders are carefully packed and sent using tracked delivery, with international shipping available.
Deep burgundy leather gives this compact a warmth that metal alone simply cannot achieve.
The rich leather covers both front and reverse, while the lid is framed by an intricate multicoloured border that gives the otherwise simple round compact an unexpectedly luxurious finish.
Its maker is unknown, but the styling has all the character of a mid-century vanity accessory.
Inside are the original mirror and powder screen, and the compact measures approximately 7.5 cm diameter.
There is minor wear to the leather and metalwork, but the deep wine-red colour remains beautiful and the original fittings have survived.
It feels less like a piece of make-up packaging and more like a small personal possession — the sort of compact that would have nestled amongst gloves, perfume and lipstick inside a carefully chosen handbag.
