Western Europe, Italy & Romania, ca. late 20th to early 21st century CE. A pair of luxury designer vintage handbags: the Elise satchel by Marc Jacobs and a Vara Bow crossbody purse by Salvatore Ferragamo. The Marc Jacobs Elise satchel is crafted in black calfskin with gold-toned hardware, double rolled handles attached by ring links, an exterior zippered pocket, a push-lock flap pocket, end belts, and four metal feet to protect the leather bottom. The canvas-lined interior includes a zippered pocket with a serial number tag reading "SS 11 197" and a "Made in Romania" tag. The Salvatore Ferragamo Vara purse is accented with gold-toned hardware, a shoulder strap, and the iconic grosgrain Vara bow with a central plaque stamped "Ferragamo." This bag has a magnetic flap closure and a canvas-lined interior with a zippered pocket and a leather tag label bearing the serial number "AQ215231." Size of Ferragamo: 8.75" L x 3" W x 6.26" H (22.2 cm x 7.6 cm x 15.9 cm); Marc Jacobs: 12.5" L x 4.5" W x 9" H (31.8 cm x 11.4 cm x 22.9 cm)
The Ferragamo Vara Bow is an iconic design element introduced in the late 1970s by Fiamma Ferragamo, daughter of the brand's founder, and it quickly became a signature feature, especially on the classic Vara pumps and on various Ferragamo items, symbolizing refined femininity and timeless Italian style.
