The Vassar Import Bag Company was a prominent mid-century manufacturer known for creating high-end, structured exotic skin handbags. They were sold exclusively at independent boutiques and prestigious department stores across the United States.
The brand hit its peak manufacturing stride during the 1950s post-war fashion boom when structured, highly glazed alligator skin bags became the ultimate status symbol for American women.
