Vintage Dolphin Paris braided canvas and leather purse, retro metal clasp

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This vintage Dolphin Paris coin purse stands out with its retro aesthetic and materials characteristic of mid-20th-century leather goods accessories. The visible front features beige woven canvas, offering a distinct visual and tactile texture, framed by brown leather borders. The finish is highlighted by regular topstitching that accentuates the contrast between the canvas and the leather.

The top closure is equipped with a silver-effect metal snap clasp, typical of traditional coin purses and appreciated for its practicality. The coin purse's structure adopts a slightly trapezoidal shape, with a wide base that narrows towards the top, giving the whole an elegant and stable silhouette.

On the front, a leather patch is sewn, stamped with the Dolphin Paris logo accompanied by a stylized dolphin motif. This detail adds a distinctive touch and attests to the authenticity of the brand, common on Parisian accessories of that era. The natural shade of the woven canvas harmonizes with the leather elements, for a look that is both understated and refined.

All visible finishes demonstrate careful craftsmanship: the metal frame shows a patina from use, while the canvas and leather display a beautiful color homogeneity. No additional decorative motifs are visible on the exposed front, highlighting the purity of the design and the quality of the materials used.

This vintage coin purse can also be described as a retro purse or a small framed wallet, terms often sought after for this type of iconic accessory. Its appearance evokes classic models used from the 60s to the 80s, without a specific decade being assertable with certainty based solely on this image, but the overall style corresponds to this period.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The metal's patina and slight localized darkening of the leather are visible, as are some signs of wear on the woven canvas. The whole remains visually harmonious and presents a beautiful vintage appearance.
