Schiaparelli satin bag, early 20th century

The color, known as hot pink in America and shocking pink in England, was inspired by a pink diamond owned by a Schiaparelli client, socialite Daisy Fellowes. Schiaparelli's first perfume, Shocking, had a box of this color, also known as Schiaparelli pink.

This folding compartment bag in Schiaparelli pink satin is lined with pale blue satin. The bag has three separate compartments that can be used to store stockings, hankies, etc.

The condition is excellent.

It measures 5 1/2" by 6 3/4" when closed.
