The beautifully sleek, naturally textured broadtail fur gives the front a rich, sculptural appearance, while the opposite side is finished in a distinctive quilted fabric designed to sit against the coat. What makes this example especially appealing is its ingenious construction: it looks like an elegant fur muff at first glance, but incorporates a handle, hidden zippered compartment, and built-in kiss-clasp coin purse, turning a traditional winter accessory into a surprisingly functional little handbag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-Century \/ Muff-Purse Hybrid \/ Top-Handle Bag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 inches\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1960s\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Genuine Broadtail Lamb Fur, Cloqué, Faux Leather, Rayon Satin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Quilted Faux Pebbled Lambskin, Solid Fur\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClasp\/Closure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zipper, kiss clasp, open at sides\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Structured, four-strand, round-braided leather top handle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unbranded\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e United States\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent, with some localized friction wear noted.

By the mid-20th century, designers were increasingly adapting traditional accessories to suit a more practical, modern wardrobe. This 1960s vintage example is particularly interesting because it combines the luxury of broadtail lamb with the functionality of a handbag, reflecting the era’s growing interest in accessories that were both decorative and useful. Its unique muff-purse construction makes it a charming example of mid-century accessory design, when classic forms were being reinterpreted in inventive new ways.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42824736080061,"sku":"WAHB002","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/4818\/1181\/files\/WAHB002_1.jpg?v=1789400672","url":"https:\/\/www.getluckyvintage.com\/products\/1960s-broadtail-lamb-combination-muff-and-purse","provider":"Get Lucky Vintage ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
