A charming 1950s wicker handbag manufactured by Atlas of Hollywood, Florida, featuring an elaborate decorative panel of real seashells arranged across the front. The white woven wicker body is complemented by clear lucite style handles and polished metal hardware, giving the purse a classic mid century resort aesthetic. The front display panel showcases various natural shells arranged in a beach themed composition with additional decorative accents set against a textured background. The interior is lined in light colored fabric and retains the original label reading Princess Charming by Atlas Hollywood, Fla. Such novelty wicker handbags were popular accessories during the 1950s, particularly in Florida resort areas, making this an appealing collectible piece of vintage fashion and coastal Americana.
