Vintage Carson Pirie Scott Black Clutch Bag, Glossy Panel, Textured Trim, Bow Detail, Matching Pouch

Black upon black, with just enough shine to catch the candlelight.

This vintage evening clutch finds its character in contrast: a broad, glossy black panel meets a soft-looking, matte-textured band, all contained within a clean rectangular silhouette. A narrow bow detail adds a small flourish at the edge, keeping the mood elegant rather than ornate. Picture it tucked beneath an arm beside a dark tailored coat, the polished surface catching a passing light.

The flap opens to a dark, lustrous lining and a main compartment with an internal pocket. A separate coordinating black pouch accompanies the bag, bearing worn gold-coloured Carson Pirie Scott & Co. lettering. That name is recorded here from the pouch; it does not establish a separately identified manufacturer, country of manufacture, or independently verified original factory pairing.

The glossy surface shows fine scratches, light scuffing, and small marks visible in the reflected light. The matte sections show surface fibres and signs of handling. Inside, the lining is creased with small surface marks; the gold-tone fastening fittings show light wear. The accompanying pouch has rubbing along its edges and pronounced fading and wear to its gold-coloured lettering. Please examine the photographs for the condition of both pieces.

The clutch is photographed open and closed, but fastening strength has not been independently tested. Measurements have not yet been established, so compatibility with a particular phone or other modern essentials is not promised.

A quietly dramatic companion for evenings that call for something darker than sparkle. Carefully nestled in its treasure coffin, a vault relic from Vaen’kai Vault.
