Leiber handbags are carried by royalty and cinema stars, First Ladies and the fashionably  chic.  Seen at the most prestigious affairs and part of museum design collections at the Victoria & Albert Museum of London, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Smithsonian Institute in Washington D.C. This vintage 1980's purse is a rare, timeless and collectible classic. A multitude of shimmering Austrian/Swarovski Crystals envelope this whimsical, wide-eyed owl minaudiere. Original accessories include gold coin purse, personal mirror and small comb.  Also comes with a small signature keepsake bag. Purse has a long gold-tone chain easily converting this clutch to a  shoulder bag. Clamshell design with brilliant gold interior. Inside the purse is the signature                   "Judith Leiber" plate, authenticating this beauty. A close up peek... Gold-tone details are so shiny they reflect everything around them. This photo of the back of the purse was taken with a flash to better display the glimmer of the crystals. The underside of the purse and shimmering stones. A rare and exquisite bag by the distinguished designer        Judith Leiber.    Condition & Additional Details: Purse measures approximately 6" long by 4 1/2" high.  Purse and accessories are all in excellent condition. Absolutely stunning and the crystals display  far more brilliance than we were able to capture in our photos. We have closely inspected this purse and it does not appear that any crystals are missing. Interior retains a perfume scent. Shoulderbag chain has a slight kink that you can "feel" more than you can actually see.  Gold-tone components are super shiny. Purse displays only minor wear, typical of a minaudiere of this age. Overall, this purse looks as if it has been barely used. Truly beautiful example of Leiber design, quality, whimsy and workmanship.  Payment:Payment is due within 7 days of purchase.
