Coquette NY Handbags

My late father Harry Shelby was the designer and manufacturer behind Coquette NY Handbags, an upscale line of handcrafted pocketbooks that flourished during the 1950s and 1960s.

After a fortuitous typo in eBay's search engine led me to one of my father's purses, I decided that I would attempt to recover as varied a catalog as I could.

This is the catalog so far. I will try to include my mother's reactions and memories along the way.
