MARTIN VAN SCHAAK 1960's-70's Matte Metallic GOLD Python Snake Skin Handbag - Jewels!

Gorgeous custom made (with providence!) 1960's-70's matte metallic GOLD python snake skin handbag with jeweled parrot by Martin van Schaak for Virginia Murchison (Linthicum)! Matte metallic gold skins (with silver hues) are soft and in pristine condition, as are the gold genuine leather triple top handle, the rhinestone encrusted gold tone parrot, and the silver genuine leather covered top frame and exterior pockets. The clasped middle section opens to a spotless interior done in a lovely silver tafetta/silk with 2 open side pockets - signed "Martin van Schaak, New York." A beautiful bag by this highly sought after vintage designer who catered to the ultra-wealthy and socialite circles. The bag's original owner Virginia "Ginny" was wife to Clint W. Murchison, Sr. and stepmother to John and Clint, Jr., founders and owners of the Dallas Cowboys!
