1920's Bakelite Suede Turtle Handbag 1990s and amazed New Englanders sinceDATE: Art Deco, c. 1920 I can't get over how adorable this handbag is. It dates from the 1920's and is shaped as a cute little turtle! Its body is made from a suede fabric and features gorgeous stitching representing the shell! Its head and feet are made from Bakelite, with a lovely matching handle attached to the top for carrying. With a zip at the back, there is a compartment to hold your belongings. Super cute.
