Description

The lipstick case that understood the assignment.

This is a Stratton lipstick holder from the golden age of British vanity accessories, and it has the kind of presence that makes you want to slow down and look properly. The body is covered in a fine engine-turned guilloche pattern, that dense, hypnotic wave texture that catches the light differently from every angle and speaks entirely of a time when even the smallest objects were made with intention. The clasp is the signature Stratton crown cut-out, instantly recognisable to anyone who collects mid-century vanity pieces. Open it and there's a small interior mirror, clean and functional.

Stamped inside: Reg. Des. For Stratton, Made in England.

This one has been used and loved. There is some wear to the gold tone near the hinge and clasp, and some light patina consistent with age and handling. No original packaging. The mechanism functions correctly.
