My grandmother used to keep money in this vanity bag, this is belongs to her. When she used to go outside she used to carry this bag with her. It’s a bag of 40’s decade. Till now I have kept it with me, she gave it to my mother. The upper portion of the bag is made up of red velvet cotton and lower part of the bag is well decorated. Photo is my own property

The bag is very pretty. My aunt had one like that shape when I was about 7, that would be 1957.

It's still pretty. But I have seen holes near the bottom. Maybe you can fix it by sewing the holes to look it more beautiful. Anyway, that's priceless possession and you're lucky to have that.
