9x8 " Leather w/copper flap decoration
Gift from the early 80s
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
It is a lovely handbag by Fancy Nancy. Such vintage designer accessories are being offered at auction on a regular basis.
The handbag has a very special and unique design with the large clasp with copper decoration. This was a typical feature of the handbags from the 1970s-1980s. The handbag shows some signs of having been used which affects the price. Vintage handbags that are most sought after today are by brands like Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Yves Saint Laurent, still there is a large market for special and unique handbags like yours however the prices are much lower than those of the high end French brands.
The estimate provided is for a well-advertised specialised online vintage designer accessories auction, where I believe the Nancy Fancy handbag has the best chance of realising its fullest potential. However, there is no measurement for the sentimental value you might attach to the handbag. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions. I’m happy to help.
Thank you
