Vintage Lilly Pulitzer Box Purse and Stationery

I wanted to share a recent Vintage Lilly purchase with you.  I found these little lovelies on Ebay.  I've decided that they are post-worthy for two reasons: 1. I've never seen the stationery and 2. The purse is in beyond remarkable condition.

Seriously, as a person who buys a lot of vintage, I'm just blown away by the condition of this purse.  It's hard to believe that it's more than fifty years old.  Obviously the person who originally purchased the purse, kept it wrapped (out of the light) and hidden in a closet somewhere and never used it.

I was really surprised because I bought the items in a 'lot' and the photos were a little fuzzy with no mention of condition.  The purse was placed towards the back of the photo in the listing, so I expected it to be in okay condition.

Just check out the photos:

Okay, so that's the purse.  Here's the stationery.  I've never seen this print.  I'm pretty sure that it's a Zuzek pattern though. It's just about as 'Lilly' as it gets.

That's all for now, hope you liked seeing these fun Vintage Lilly finds!
