ABOUT PRODUCTID 8468
This cylindrical French hatbox from the 1950s is crafted from high-gloss, faux-lacquered black leather with a cool, deep tone and a mirror-like finish. The construction is based on minimalist geometry, featuring a subtly flattened base for stability and balanced proportions. The edges are reinforced with precise black stitching, while the glossy handle is secured by sturdy, silver-toned metal hardware. A robust silver zipper runs around the circumference, accentuating the cylindrical silhouette. The surface has a subtly pebbled texture, reflecting light in irregular patterns, and the interior is lined with fabric. No major damage or repairs are present—only minor scuffs and light scratches typical for vintage items. Condition: very good, with only gentle traces of age.This piece quietly tells the story of Paris in the 1950s, when travel was a ritual and understated luxury was present in every detail. The gleaming black finish evokes the world of haute couture—calling to mind boulevards, Chanel handbags, and light scattering across a lacquered surface. Silver hardware and clean stitching recall an era when every wardrobe accessory had a place of honor, and the journey itself was an element of style. The form speaks of restrained elegance, where functionality and decorative value are equally present.The hatbox may be displayed atop a living room sideboard as a collector's accent or used as a refined storage box for scarves, gloves, or jewelry. It would suit interiors inspired by mid-century modern design, particularly alongside walnut-veneered furniture, mirrored surfaces, and chic & glam accessories. One could pair it with soft lighting or place it against a light-colored wall to highlight the depth of the black and the minimalist geometry of the piece.
