ART DECO 1920's SIGNED WHITING AND DAVIS ENAMEL MESH PURSE IN GREAT CONDITION. 6.5" X 4" WITH A 6" CHAIN DROP. Awesome! Perfect for that special occasion, what a conversation piece. Flappers went crazy over mesh bags in the 1920s, especially those with screen-printing or enamel zigzag patterns. During the Depression, designers switched to base metals like copper, and the style all but disappeared during the rations of World War II. But the mesh bags made a comeback in the '50s as stars like Ingrid Bergman and Jane Russell sported them in the movies. In the '70s, mesh was even used in halter tops with matching disco bags.
