About the Item

French designer Isabel Canovas is a hidden gem of the fashion world. After honing her skills at iconic brands like Dior, Hermès, and Louis Vuitton, she launched her own boutiques and quickly earned the title “the queen of accessories” thanks to her unconventional, Schiaparelli-esque creations. Over a decade, she produced a limited series of whimsical, elaborate fashion accessories crafted from the finest French materials. A true visionary, Isabel captured the attention of Vogue and The New York Times Magazine with collections inspired by her travels and infused with motifs of animals, fruits, and flowers. Although she closed her boutiques in the early 1990s after building an international clientele, her innovative work paved the way for designers like Maud Frizon, Paloma Picasso, and Dominique Aurientis. Today, her pieces are highly collectible due to their rarity, quality, and exceptional craftsmanship. This vintage Isabela Canovas clutch is crafted from black lizard skin. Its unique turtle clasp—meticulously hand-painted in vivid red, gold, and black—serves as both a secure closure and a bold decorative accent. Lined in red fabric with a zipper wall pocket. In very good condition. Measurements: Width: 9.5 inches Height: 7 inches Depth: 1.5 inches
