Stunning XL 1950's-60's LOUISE FONTAINE Crocodile POROSUS KELLY Bag - HERMES
Absolutely fabulous 1950's-60's Louise Fontaine espresso brown crocodile porosus huge KELLY style handbag! 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 with belted skin front closure! Desirable swivel handle with shiny gold tone hardware and turn front clasp closure that shows only minimal patina and some minor surface scratches. Beautiful espresso kid skin genuine leather interior with 2 open and 1 zippered side pockets - signed "Louise Fontaine, Bruxelles." Four protective feet on bottom. The original lock and key did not come with the bag. An absolutely exquisite bag - definitely not to be found again!
Measurements: 9" H x 12.5" W x 5" D, Handle adds 4" to height.
Condition: Near Mint
