Whiting & Davis Co Vintage Mesh Bag

Whiting & Davis, est. 1876, is a heritage luxury brand renowned for its iconic metal mesh handbags, a fabric created by the brand itself over 100 years ago. Blending timeless craftsmanship with modern elegance, this vintage piece comes housed in its original box.

In 1892 Mr. Whiting designed the first mesh bag, with all rings formed and joined by hand. By 1912 a machine was invented to automate the mesh making process. 

Whiting & Davis’ beautiful, high quality purses were the coveted accessory of flappers, actresses and “well dressed women everywhere.” Through automation and advertising, the company expanded its reach, becoming, and remaining to this day, the world’s leading mesh handbag manufacturer.
