This shaving case features a black leather-look exterior finish with a bright red interior, highlighting the inscription \"Cuir véritable\" (Genuine Leather) on a gold and red escutcheon affixed to the inside of the lid. The set is distinguished by its retro style, typical of men's travel accessories from the mid-20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe upper part of the kit contains two visible accessories: a fine-toothed comb made of bakelite-type material (amber tortoiseshell hue) and an elongated case of the same material, likely intended for a toothbrush or similar accessory. Both elements are held in place by black loops matching the interior lining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe main compartment, carefully arranged, includes a series of toiletry accessories secured by black straps. Three bottles and boxes with polished, chrome-look metal lids are visible, two of which have decorative circular perforations. These containers are typical of toiletry kits for housing a shaving brush, shaving soap, or aftershave lotion. Next to them, two small bottles or jars with amber striped screw caps, also likely made of bakelite, complete the set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn elongated metal accessory (potentially nail clippers or a nail file) is visible in the upper right of the lower compartment, slipped into a dedicated loop. The set displays methodical organization, with each element perfectly secured, for practical use while traveling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe overall design, combining genuine leather, bakelite accessories, and shiny metal cases, evokes high-end toiletry kits from the 1950s to 1970s. The retro look is enhanced by the color palette (black, red, amber, chrome) and the meticulous finishes, ideal for a vintage bathroom or as decoration on a dressing table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe set shown in the photo strictly corresponds to what is visible: no additional content or hidden elements are described. The overall visual condition appears good, with reflective metal surfaces and no apparent major scratches on the exposed side. However, slight signs of use or age-related patina may be present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
