1950's-60's LOUISE FONTAINE Crocodile POROSUS Bag - HERMES CHAINE D'ANCRE

Absolutely fabulous 1950's-60's Louise Fontaine espresso brown crocodile porosus handbag in the same style as Hermes Chaine D'ancre! Louise Fontaine exotic skin bags are highly coveted due to their exquisite craftsmanship, premium skins, and that they are no longer made anymore - quality is equivalent to Hermes. Louise Fontaine was a famous "maroquinier sellier"' (leather goods saddler) for the belgian beau-monde (wealthy) of the 50's-60's and had a high-end store on Avenue Louise in Brussels. Stunning quality skins and construction on this piece of art with impeccably matched, perfectly symmetrical center cut crocodile porosus underbelly skins done in a glossy finish! Desirable swivel handle with chain d'ancre gold plated pull front clasp (shows very mild color loss). Unused espresso kid skin genuine leather interior with 2 separate compartments features 2 open and 1 zippered crocodile trimmed side pockets - signed "Louise Fontaine, Bruxelles." An absolutely exquisite bag!
