Late 1940s Olympic Accessories Wicker Box Handbag

A beautifully structured vintage wicker handbag from the late 1940s, featuring a warm natural-tan woven exterior, a rectangular box silhouette, and coordinating rigid top handles. The tightly woven body is finished with rounded edges and gold-tone metal hardware, including decorative handle mounts and a secure center clasp.

The bag opens to reveal a soft blush-beige fabric interior with a small slip pocket and its original Olympic Accessories label, marked as made in the British Crown Colony of Hong Kong. Its clean, understated design makes it an elegant example of a classic postwar wicker handbag that can be styled for summer occasions, daytime events, or displayed as part of a vintage handbag collection.

Very Good vintage condition.

The wicker body remains well structured and intact, with only light signs of age. There is visible surface wear and finish loss along the rigid handles, consistent with previous use. The gold-tone hardware shows mild age-related patina. The interior remains in very good condition with light signs of wear appropriate for its age.
