Vintage Roger Bois Black Quilted Handbag, Made in France, Gold-Tone Interwoven Chain, Glossy Tab

Midnight quilting, polished black, and a chain threaded with gold-toned light.

This vintage Roger Bois handbag brings together a softly textured black body and diamond quilting, edged with glossy black trim. Its rounded lower corners soften the silhouette, while a broad polished tab draws the eye to a circular gold-tone plaque reading “ROGER BOIS” and “made in france”. The chain straps pass through gold-tone eyelets, interwoven with black strips for a richly contrasting finish.

The French manufacture wording is clearly photographed on this example. The Vault's research describes Roger Bois as a lesser-known vintage French label whose pieces appear only sporadically on the resale market. That is offered as the Vault's research assessment, rather than a verified production history or guarantee of rarity. A Paris workshop, artisanal manufacture, and an exact production date have not been independently established.

The quilted surface has a soft, nap-like appearance, contrasting with the glossy edging and closure tab. Exact materials remain unconfirmed: general references to other Roger Bois leather bags do not establish the composition of this piece, and no leather, suede, velvet fibre, or silk claim is made.

The most notable wear is on the black strips woven through the chain. Close-ups show pronounced edge fraying, exposed pale backing, loose fibres, and worn surfaces, including near an eyelet. This should not be mistaken for pristine strap trim. The quilted body shows variations in surface texture, small marks, and scattered fibres; the glossy tab and trim have visible scratches and scuffing. The plaque and gold-tone fittings also show surface scratches and localised wear. Please examine the detailed photographs carefully.

The bag is photographed open and closed, but fastening strength, zip operation, and the load-bearing integrity of the chain and its attachments have not been independently tested. Given the visible wear to the interwoven strips, handle gently and avoid overloading. Measurements and strap drop have not been established, so a particular phone fit or shoulder/crossbody fit is not promised.

A darkly elegant French-marked relic for the keeper drawn to quilted texture and a glimmer of gold. Carefully nestled in its treasure coffin, a vault relic from Vaen’kai Vault.
