Stunning Valextra vanity case in burgundy polished calfskin with cream leather lacing. Founded in Milan in 1937, Valextra is a quiet-luxury house, recognized by construction rather than by monogram. Current-season vanity cases from the house retail around $1,700. Structured box silhouette with a wraparound zip, single rolled top handle on polished brackets, and gold-tone hardware. Cream leather ovals threaded through the leather in a band around the upper body and at all four base corners. Leather-lined interior with a flat slip pocket. One protective stud to the base. Complete with its original fitted mirror and detachable adjustable leather strap — wearable as a crossbody, not only a top-handle piece. Vintage vanity cases are very often separated from their mirrors; this one is intact. Approx. 9" W × 6" H × 5" D. Condition — very good Polished calfskin shows light surface scratching, largely invisible in normal wear. Light rubbing where the piping wraps the lower corners on the bottom. Very small scratch on the bottom. The interior back panel has some scuffing and darkening above the pocket. Logo plate has some scratching. Zip runs smoothly throughout. Leather is supple, structure is firm, corners are sound, and the exterior finish is glossy and unclouded. Flaws are shot deliberately under raking light. Nothing retouched.
