Purse lid moves freely and lock is secureFrom its address on New York's upscale Fifth Avenue, Dorset Rex sold highly desirable handbags starting in 1951 with the amalgamation of Dorset and the compact maker Rex. This basket weave basket was one of its popular styles that was also sold by high end department stores, worn on the harm of every stylish woman from New York to California. There ground breaking Magic Weave technology was a new non-tarnishable process that made Dorset Rex purses resistance to oxidation and also made them light weight. Cleaning with a damp cloth and wiping dry was all cleaning it needed. The technology appears to still be working, with no oxidation and shiny like the day it was purchased in the 50s!
