Vintage Stratton Lipview & Matching Lipstick Holder in Original Presentation Box – Late 1960s Vanity Set – Registered Design 934048

A beautiful and increasingly hard-to-find Stratton Lipview vanity set dating to the late 1960s, complete with its lipstick holder and original fitted presentation box.

Finished in elegant cream faux leather with polished gold-tone trim, this charming set reflects the sophisticated style of the era when a coordinated lipstick holder and mirror were considered essential handbag accessories. The Lipview’s clever concealed mirror allowed discreet checks and lipstick touch-ups throughout the day, making it one of Stratton’s most practical and enduring designs.

This example is particularly desirable as it remains with its original fitted gift box, featuring a striking royal blue velvet insert designed specifically to house the lipview. The presentation box itself is an attractive survivor and appears to be an earlier style rarely encountered today, adding considerably to the set’s collectability.

The lipstick holder bears the Registered Design number 934048, dating the design to the late 1960s, making this a wonderful example of British vanity accessories from the period. Stratton of Birmingham was renowned worldwide for quality vanity wares, and pieces retaining their original packaging are becoming increasingly scarce.

The cream finish displays beautifully alongside the bright gold-tone fittings, creating an understated yet luxurious appearance. The original box shows expected age-related wear from over half a century of careful storage, while the vanity set itself presents wonderfully.

Lipview measures approximately 6 cm x 3 cm (2.36 x 1.18 inches).

Presentation box measures approximately 10 cm x 6.5 cm (3.94 x 2.56 inches).

A delightful addition to any Stratton collection and a wonderful piece of vintage British glamour from an era when everyday accessories were designed with elegance, quality and lasting style in mind.
