Tropic Imports Vintage Mid-Century Wicker Handbag with Pearlized Lucite Trim - Attributed to Tropic Imports, this mid-century box-style handbag features a cream-colored woven rattan body. The structured design is accented with pearlized white Lucite top trim, three decorative vertical straps, and a matching curved top handle. The bag is secured with a mixed-metal latch closure in silver and brass tones and rests on four protective metal feet. The interior is lined in white vinyl and includes a single slip pocket. A fabric tag indicates the piece was manufactured in Hong Kong. This style is characteristic of the 1950s and 1960s resort wear aesthetic. Dimensions: Approximately 11 inches wide x 8 inches high x 4 inches deep. The item is in fair-good vintage condition. There is notable tarnish and oxidation present on the metal hardware, including the latch and feet. The interior vinyl lining shows some staining, general discoloration, and blue ink marks. The exterior wicker and Lucite components remain structurally sound with minor surface wear consistent with age.
