ABOUT JUDITH LEIBER:Since 1963 Judith Leiber has been amazing the American population with her designs which have numbered nearly 4000. Transforming from her classic style bags to the novelty minaudieres took the world by storm and brought 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 amazing creations are prized by celebrities for wear on the Red Carpets, First Ladies of the US for Presidential Inauguration balls, and private collectors around the world who continue to pay high prices for her iconic pieces. Judith Leiber pieces are owned by museums across the globe, including the Metroploitan 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, no longer available on the retail market, rare, and difficult to find. This is one such bag. Never worn by me, it 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 interest 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. For this item, my Listing Price is less than my original cost and far less than today's retail, if you could find this model in new condition today. The retail cost noted at the beginning of this listing for a Vintage Black Labrador Retriever Puppy does not say it is in new/never worn condition, so it is most likely preowned. My price is set to allow someone else a chance to enjoy this remarkable line. 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. 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. SHIPPING:This item will be shipped Priority Mail with tracking and signature acceptance to the e-Bay Authentication Center within 3 business days after receipt of payment, from which it will be sent on to you.. I also insure the package at my own cost (which usually runs $80 or more) to make sure it arrives safely. At this time we do not ship outside the USA.Thank you for your interest and your kind understanding!
