1960s Margaret Smith Cardinal Autumn Floral Hand Bag

At last! A floral bag in Autumn hues!  Not that we have objections to the bright, hot floral colors of Spring and Summer, but sometimes the eye just needs a little rest. Or maybe your accessory personality leans more toward soft neutrals. Whatever the case, this beautiful Margaret Smith bag is right up your alley. In cotton canvas, it features a large floral print of chrysanthemums and roses in shades of rust, russet, raw umber, sepia and sandy taupe, on a gray-green background.  A rust, brown and beige cardinal sits on a branch contemplating a bunch of berries.  The interior is lined in bronze faille and consists of a single compartment with a zippered pocket dividing the space in the middle.  Measures 13" long at the widest, 10" high at the peak, 4" deep. Handle has a 4.5" drop to top of bag.  Margaret Smith, Garnier, Maine.  The bottom of the bag is just a little tweaked, otherwise it's in excellent condition   $115
