This handbag showcases a beautiful example of postwar textile experimentation, a period when designers began preserving lace, crochet, and embroidery under clear celluloid, Lucite, or vinyl to create futuristic plastifabric effects.
The underlying insert appears to be hand-crocheted filet net or machine lace, carefully encased in a transparent plastic laminate. The transparency gives a dimensional, honeycomb-like shimmer, especially under light, while protecting the delicate textile inside.
This particular clutchs minimal metal frame and soft sculptural body suggest production by an American or French novelty bag manufacturer, possibly 1950s department-store level (e.g. Rosenfeld, Koret, or Llewellyn). Label says MAXIM.
