Description: Vintage Gate Top Beggar's Black Bag. Expanding metal pouch bag with patterned lining and pockets. Collector's Item

Gate top bags, historically known as gate bags, were widely used during the Victorian era as stylish and practical accessories. They featured a distinctive metal frame closure resembling a gate, which provided both security and ease of access to the contents inside. These bags were popular among women for carrying essentials like coins, keys, and small personal items, and they often showcased intricate designs and embellishments, reflecting the fashion trends of the time. While gate top bags are less common today, they remain cherished vintage pieces sought after by collectors and enthusiasts for their unique charm and historical significance
