Did you know that lucite purses got their start in the early 1950’s, when technology after the war came up with the idea for a higher class of plastic called lucite?

This material was perfect for the box purses and could be made in many different colors and shapes.

Decorations were easy to add and included confetti, shells, flowers, or just about anything else you could stick on a purse!

These purses became all the rage of bigger cities such as Miami and New York City and the handbag companies loved these bags because they could be made into unusual shapes easily.

The most expensive lucite purses were made by Wilardy of New York and were showcased in major department stores throughout the country.

Are you looking for a genuine high quality lucite purse? The best of the designers were Rialto, Llewllyn, Gilli Originals, Patricia of Miami, Evans, and Myles and Maxim. These companies marked their handbags on the inside with a stamp on the metal frames or a clear label.

These bags are now collectors items that sell for high dollar but, unfortunately, some of clear labels have fallen off with age making identification difficult.

A lot of the bags now available may not be in the best condition understandably but don't let that stop you. See my ideas for used lucite purses.

Check the lucite purse over carefully and realize that, if you are buying for an investment, authentication is very important and if it cannot be proved as real, your investment is worthless. But if you're buying for fun, then your options are endless.

Take a look around and you just may find your gem!
