1960s Souré Bag Jungle Print Vinyl Coated Tote with Gold Lamé Handles

Description:
A striking mid-century tote by Souré Bag, New York, dating to the 1960s. This piece features a jungle print textile in golden tones, depicting tropical foliage, figures, and ships — a motif both exotic and adventurous, reflecting mid-century fascination with global travel. The exterior is coated in clear vinyl, both protecting the textile and giving it a glossy finish, while the metallic gold lamé handles and trim add a glamorous contrast.

The interior reveals a light cream fabric lining with an elasticized slip pocket, secured with a gold-tone clasp closure. A classic example of Souré’s novelty designs, this tote balances durability and style, making it a collectible yet wearable piece.
