Vtg 1970s Miriam Lefcourt Butterfly Lace Evening Bag, Chunky Tortoiseshell Chain

Elevate your evening wear with this breathtaking piece of mid-century Italian craftsmanship. This authentic "Elegantly Yours" evening clutch, curated by designer Miriam Lefcourt, beautifully juxtaposes romantic textures with bold, architectural hardware.

The body of the bag features an exquisite, dimensional cream lace overlay sculpted into a butterfly motif, layered over a lustrous, soft peach-satin backing. This delicate, soft textile is framed by a heavy, structural faux-tortoiseshell acrylic frame and a matching statement-making chunky resin link chain handle. Inside, you’ll find a pristine satin-lined interior complete with a slip pocket and the original woven designer label.

Perfect as an unforgettable "something old" bridal accessory, a standout cocktail party clutch, or an editorial addition to a modern, minimalist wardrobe.
