This is a breathtaking Oxblood—a deep, intoxicating Wine/Burgundy that is significantly rarer than the common black or brown models. Historical MSRP $1,850.00 The Taubman Museum of Art is currently hosting the exhibition "A Sparkling Legacy: The Judith Leiber Collection" [Jan 2026 – Jan 2028]. This is your chance to own a piece of the history being celebrated in museums from fashion-capitals NYC to London. ​Exquisite Color: This is a breathtaking Oxblood—a deep, intoxicating Wine/Burgundy that is significantly rarer than the common black or brown models. In the world of vintage luxury, this specific color—Oxblood—is the "holy grail" of neutrals because it functions as a rich, dark wine-tone that pairs with everything from black to cream. It serves as the perfect "power neutral" for any high-end wardrobe. Crafted from genuine Karung (Water Snake), the skin is soft and supple with the iconic "sunburst" pleating that defines Leiber's 1980s peak. ​The Legacy: Judith Leiber (1921–2018) was the first woman accepted into the Hungarian Handbag Guild and her bags famously graced the arms of First Ladies and are held in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Smithsonian. ​The Heritage: Step into the world of ultimate luxury with this authentic Judith Leiber creation. This piece features the rare, highly sought-after signature hallmark hidden beneath the lift clasp. ​Collector Details ​Double Signed: Features both the interior "Judith Leiber New York" metal plate and the rare JL Signature hidden beneath the gold-tone lift-clasp. ​The Chain: Includes the classic gold-tone Snake Link (Omega) hideaway chain—sleek, heavy, and jewelry-grade. It tucks inside to convert the bag into a formal clutch. ​The Hardware: Polished gold-tone frame with an Art Deco tiered enamel clasp. Excellent Vintage Condition. The color is vibrant and the gold is bright. As is expected with 40-year-old organic skins, there is a very slight, natural "breathing" (minor dryness) spot near one edge—I have included macro photos to ensure full transparency. ​Measurements: ​Width: 7" Height: 5" Depth: 2.5" Strap Drop: 19" (Omega Snake Link) Condition: Pre-owned - Excellent.
