Vintage Kigu of London Mother of Pearl Party Case Carryall Compact Purse with Wrist Strap
A beautifully elegant vintage Kigu of London Party Case, exquisitely decorated with a shimmering geometric mother of pearl mosaic that reflects the light with every movement. Designed to accompany its owner on an evening out, this sophisticated carryall is a wonderful example of the glamour and craftsmanship that made Kigu one of Britain’s most respected makers of luxury vanity accessories.
Opening to reveal a thoughtfully arranged interior, the case features a powder compact with mirror, lipstick holder and cigarette compartment, all beautifully finished in rich gold-tone metal. Complete with its original wrist strap, it combines style and practicality in a timeless design that remains as captivating today as when it was first created.
Measuring approximately 8cm x 8cm x 2cm, this is a particularly well-preserved example with a bright mirror, clean interior and crisp engine-turned detailing. The mother of pearl retains its beautiful natural iridescence, while the case displays only light signs of age and careful use consistent with its vintage character. Please study the photographs carefully as they form part of the description.
A truly exceptional piece for collectors of Kigu, vintage vanity accessories and Art Deco-inspired design, this elegant Party Case is equally at home displayed on a dressing table or treasured as part of a distinguished collection. It is a beautiful reminder of a time when even the smallest accessories were created with style, quality and enduring sophistication.
