Original 1966 Enid Collins wooden box handbag with jeweled daisies, painted graphics, and interior mirror; signed inside lid.

Designed by Enid Collins of Texas in the 1960s, this hand-painted wooden box bag reflects the optimism and wit of mid-century American design. Collins’ purses bridged craft and fashion, each one a small piece of wearable art, often featuring clever phrases and jewel-like embellishments. Today, her work is recognized as a precursor to the artist–designer collaborations and statement accessories that define modern collectible fashion.
