Vintage Judith Leiber 1982 Art Deco Alligator & Ostrich Shoulder Bag, Documented

An exceptional documented Judith Leiber design from 1982, crafted in a striking geometric patchwork of black alligator, karung snakeskin, and ostrich. Inspired by Art Deco design, the bag combines contrasting exotic textures in sharply angled architectural panels, punctuated by a narrow red accent and a distinctive linear silver-tone frame closure with black and red detailing.

The structured envelope silhouette can be carried as a clutch or worn with its detachable matching shoulder strap. Accompanied by its coordinated original accessories, including a compact mirror, tasseled comb, and small framed coin purse.

This exact design is documented in The Leiber Collection archives as the “Art Deco Inspired Bag in Alligator, Karung & Ostrich, 1982,” making it an especially desirable example of Judith Leiber’s early 1980s work and her sophisticated use of exotic skins.

A rare and highly collectible Judith Leiber bag with exceptional graphic design, unusual mixed exotic materials, and strong archival documentation.
