The Hard Sided Evening Purse: A Decorated History

The famous French jewelers, Van Cleef and Arpels, invented the hard sided evening purse in 1930. Theirs were made of precious metal and adorned with gemstone designs. Van Cleef coined the word minaudi&eagrave;re to describe this new women’s accessory. The word has come to mean any hard sided evening purse that is lavishly decorated.

Vivian Alexander has taken the design of the Van Clef minaudi&eagrave;re and married it with the enameling and guilloché techniques used by Fabergé.
