Description
This Whiting-Davis 1920s Mesh Purse is just spectacular. Just super workmanship in a great 1920s era. This one is a great silver metal mesh with red-orange and blue accent colors. It measures a nice 5″ in length and about 2 5/8″across. So petite and great for change and maybe a cigarette if careful! It is in excellent shape, unbelievably so. See photos.
In 1892 Mr. Whiting designs the first mesh bag with rings formed and joined by hand. In 1912, a machine to automate the process of mesh making is available. By the 1920s. every woman wanted these high-quality mesh handbags.
Today, handbags, dresses and other items are still popular with actresses and stylish women everywhere.
