This rare Lucite purse from the 1950s is nearly a foot wide and is made by Wilardy, one of the highest-end designers of everything Lucite. (Lucite, if you're unfamiliar, is an acrylic resin and one of the earliest forms of plastic that's now highly collectible.) The last picture is of Will Hardy (I can only assume the name "Wilardy" came from saying his full name together fast) being handed a fashion award in 1954. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #wilardy #wilardylucite #wilardypurse #vintagepurse #collecting #1950s #1950spurses #vintageoutfit #vintageaccessories #vintagepurse #lucite #lucitepurse #earlyplastic #1950sfashion #1950sstyle #boxpurse #plasticpurse #innovations #dupont #etsylove #vintageclothing #style #truevintage #love https://www.instagram.com/p/B2hN9a5gIkD/?igshid=8ajnmrvmfr3s
