ABOUT JUDITH LEIBER:Since 1963 Judith Leiber has been amazing the American population with her designs which have numbered nearly 4000, and her novelty minaudieres taking the world by storm. Thus giving Judith Leiber her lasting fame that continues today to result in her pieces being highly sought after for their couture style. The word "minaudiere" comes from a French term for "silly little Trifle." This accurately represents Judith Leiber's highly original, often amusing, quirky, or whimsical tiny bags. Each one is impeccably hand fabricated--using tweezers to place Austrian crystals one by one that form the resultant delightful conversation pieces. Judith Leiber's amazing creations are prized by celebrities for wear on the Red Carpet, First Ladies of the US for Presidential Inauguration balls, and private collectors around the world who continue to pay high prices for the iconic pieces. Judith Leiber pieces are owned by museums across the globe, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York (with over 100 in their collection), the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. And, of course, anyone who likes to be noticed adores these tiny minaudieres! I have never worn one of my own and not gotten exclamations of approval by other women admiring the intricate workmanship and design. SELLER'S NOTE:I have been a Judith Leiber Collector for many years. While I dearly love all my Judith Leiber minaudiere purses, I wear only a few of those I have purchased. Thus, I have decided to sell most of my Judith Leiber collection--primarily the minaudiere bags which I have never or rarely worn. All my Judith Leiber minaudieres for sale are retired, many vintage, all no longer available on the retail market, many rare and difficult to find. This is one such bag--new with tags, never worn, which has been stored in its original dust bag and box since purchase. IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON ITEM PRICE: I am not in the sales profession; my intent is to find homes for the collectible purses I have elected to sell. The entire Judith Leiber line is fabulous and worthy of its high retail price. My Listing Price is less than my original cost in order to give others a chance to enjoy this remarkable line. If I have listed this item as available for a Best Offer, please understand that: (1) the asking price is exceptionally good, well below any retail price and most, if not all, e-Bay listings for comparable bags. (2) this is NOT a forced sale, (3) and I will consider only reasonable offers. Please take the above into account if you choose to make a Best Offer. Because I continue to receive unreasonable low offers for Judith Leiber items I have listed to date, this item, most likely and unfortunately, has a minimum bid amount, to allow offers to be in a reasonable price range for the Judith Leiber line of products.Thank you for your consideration. I will be adding more Judith Lieber purses (primarily minaudieres), so be sure to check my other listings for more offerings. My home is a smoke free environment. All figurines, clothing, and paintings are included for presentation purposes only, and are not part of this listing sale. Be sure to ask if you have any questions regarding this item and view all pictures carefully, as they are a part of the description. We do not accept returns. Please pay within 3 days of auction.
