Frequently asked questions

Did Evelyn restore this purse?

Evelyn passed away in 2007. Her daughters found many boxes of purses and other antique items in the estate. We are not completely sure who might have restored some of the purses. They were all in her personal collection and used in the research of her books. She most certainly restored many, many purses as best she could or sent them out to be restored.

How old is this purse? Where did it come from?

The best way to answer these questions is to read Evelyn's books. She spent 7 years researching each book, traveling to many museums and factories in the USA and Europe to search for answers. Her books are still considered the ultimate guides for antique purse collecting and restoration. They are in the library of every serious purse collector and many museums.
