This lovely Corde’ handbag is one of several that I own. Popular in the 1940s, Corde’ bags were made from rows of gimp (cord used for trim in clothing and furniture) stitched in interesting patterns to fabric backing. The inside label says “A Genuine Corde’ Registered Trademark. Made in England.”
A gift from my mother, I don’t save this handbag for just vintage events; I use it often for special occasions and evenings out. It holds quite a lot and the handle is just long enough to slip over my shoulder, which updates the look.
Tomorrow we come to the final day of The Twelve Days of Vintage Handbags. Don’t miss it!

I found this bag really beautiful. The tulle bow making it even prettier. Loved your Twelve Days of Vintage Handbags series!
