Mini Story
Elegant and unmistakably mid-century, this Opera Mesh evening bag by Caroma is a classic example of post-war glamour. Designed for formal occasions and cocktail evenings, these mesh handbags were prized for their durability, shimmer, and sculptural silhouettes. The survival of the original box and paperwork makes this a particularly appealing example for collectors of vintage fashion accessories.
