Vintage Annie Laurie Originals Palm Beach Hand-Painted Wooden Box Purse with Lucite Handle – One of a Kind

Vintage Annie Laurie Originals Palm Beach wooden box purse featuring beautifully hand-painted coastal shell, fish, and seascape scenes with a sculptural clear lucite handle. This artisan-crafted Florida handbag showcases detailed hand-painted and decoupage-style artwork on all sides, finished with brass tone hardware and a soft lined interior. A truly one-of-a-kind collectible statement accessory blending mid-century Florida resort style with folk art craftsmanship — perfect for collectors of vintage handbags, Palm Beach fashion, or coastal décor.

Measurements:
Approx. 6–9 in. tall (with handle) x 6–8 in. wide x 5–7 in. deep

Condition:
Good vintage condition with age-appropriate wear. Light surface wear, minor finish wear, and typical vintage patina to hardware present. Interior clean with light wear consistent with age. See photos for details.

Historical Note:
Annie Laurie Originals Palm Beach produced handcrafted wooden and lucite handbags during the 1950s–1960s, inspired by Florida coastal life and resort fashion. Each bag was individually hand-painted or decoupaged, making no two exactly alike. These whimsical artisan purses have become sought-after collector pieces representing mid-century Palm Beach style and novelty handbag design.

Value:
Estimated $125–$275 depending on condition and collector demand
