Ready to go out armed with your powder puff, lipstick and comb wrapped up in this sweet little purse? Golden glam, reminiscent of that Hollywood era with pin curled hair and pouty red lips, this suede clutch comes with its own built in beauty kit- a powder compact, bite sized comb and lipstick cannister. The golden exterior has worn down revealing the buttery soft brown suede base with a speckled patina of metallic gold. A simple pop open clasp reveals a cream rayon interior with sewn in fabric covered insert with these beauty items strapped in. The faux-tortoiseshell comb is of miniature proportions ready to tame those flyaways or to hold back that side fringe, while the brass lipstick holder could be filled with a modern lipstick or swapped out with your favourite new shade. A little light beige powder and foundation pad remain in the compact hidden beneath a brass cover which protects its mirror. A perfect clutch size and still fits your phone, blending vintage glamour with modern convenience.
