What's Inside Marilyn Monroe's Vintage 1950s Handbag ?

Marilyn Monroe Handbag
Hello lovelies,
Today I will be showing you what's inside Marilyn Monroes Handbag.
A chocolate brown 1950s alligator handbag with an interior stamp that reads, "I. Magnin & Co." as well as a metal insignia mounted to the inside of the bag with lions flanking a crest that reads "Elegance" and a banner that reads "Evans" below. The handbag features gold metal hardware and burgundy leather interior with purpose-built pockets to accommodate matching accessories, including faux tortoise plastic comb, matching leather covered gold metal flint lighter, matching lipstick case containing an unused stick of bright red lipstick, and a matching leather powder compact with mirror.

I had the exact white, wizard beaded bag from imagnins!-and gave it away! Wow! Also, my mother was interviewed about the history of Imagnins on KCET. You can look it up. It is now part of a law school, but 1x a month they open the tearoom for tea!

How come a lot of cosmetic companies don’t package like this anymore??? I’d love to buy classy elegant cosmetics like this. I’m 45 years old and remember my grandmothers beauty stuffs and never appreciated it back in the 80’s and 90’s and early 2000’s but now I’m literally trying to buy similar items she used to own. All of those items back in the day were really beautiful and elegant.

[@barbaragordon6454]

Wow besame nailed their Marilyn Monroe lipstick component. Didn’t know it was modeled after a revlon tube.

[@Laurajaneatelier]

💕💕💕 I know I was surprised too

[@OzuMiyuki]

That compact is to die for! The starburst one.

[@richardbois5696]

I lived in SF back in the days when I.Magnin was still around...one of the most glamorous and beautiful stores I have ever been in

[@marytorres129]

Having grown up in the early sixties, I remember ladies using the tiny clasp cigarette cases and they had a coin purse with the snap closure as well. They also wore a type of black flat pointed shoe that was very low cut to see some of their toes!! The beehive hairdo was all the rage and ladies would go to the supermarket with large rollers and a scarf to cover their rollers. Hair was teased and hairspray was a necessity. Almost everyone smoked as you can see from old Hollywood movies and they carried cigarette cases and matches from various restaurants and bars. I miss those glamorous years.

[@roseannes335]

"The Personal Property of Marilyn Monroe" looks like a good book. Thanks for showing it. When I lived in San Francisco, I shopped at I Magnin a lot. It was considered Retail Royalty and was a fine department store. Marilyn's marriage to Joe is supposed to have ended, because he was physically violent with her. He was too jealous.

[@lisapoole5420]

Omg, I Magnin was a nice store! It was still around in the 80s.

[@ImpressDivinity]

Make up products were just so much better back then. Like the cases and all.

[@SouthernBelleReviews]

Been obsessing with Marilyn Monroe history lately. ❤

[@ann5765]

Love the alligator handbag

[@kellie5476]

I'm obsessed with the structured box bags, so gorgeous.

[@kellihart2185]

I love this..What's in Audrey Hepburn's bag..Josephine Baker..Dorothy Dandridge..Katherine Hepburn,Elizabeth Taylor...Judy Garland,Princess Diana..Lauren Bacall..Rita Hayworth..Marlene Dietrich..Jackie Kennedy..Grace Kelly..Sophia Loren..Gretta Garbo..Lana Turner..Betty Davis..Joan Crawford..There's a WHOLE list..lol..

[@marylyn5965]

Great list. Cybil Shepherd, Natalie Wood and Joanna Lumley are some others I'm interested in.

[@jaybon625]

Would be nice. I think Audrey Hepburn started the design for the Louis Vuitton speedy and I know that grace Kelly had the Hermés Kelly named after her after being seen using it to cover her baby bump when she was pregnant

[@roseannes335]

My mother had alligator and crocodile shoes and purses in the 1950s. They were expensive then. They're a lot more expensive now.

[@jenniferspoto3688]

Hi Laura. Love seeing all the beauty vintage has to offer. I strongly believe women in the 40's and 50's had more style and attitude. There was a confidence and quality that is so difficult to find these days. There is so much technology but I believe many of us are in love with that allure of the past. I know I am. Hope you are having a wonderful new year.😊❤✌

[@hey-zl2go]

I love your cherry jewelry set! 🥰🍒

[@margaretgallo914]

Back then smoking was common, even doctors told their patients that smoking was fine and would even smoke with them. If you ever watch the show mad men, there was smoking (even drinking) in the office, at restaurants, even pregnant woman were smoking back then. My parents have Told me stories about how easily accessible cigarettes were. Parents send kids to the stores with money and a note. For cigarettes. It was common and legal.

[@chrissybarr7508]

Such a cute bag love it and Marilyn 🌹

[@denisefreitas6727]

I loved the video, Laura! Love Marilyn and it's always interesting to know more things about her. I love your handbags! They're so gorgeous! How about to know what's inside Grace Kelly's handbag?

[@katterrific8286]

OMG. I WANT the big petitpoint purse with roses!!!

[@avamaysuzuki]

I have the exact same brown bag without knowing Marilynn also owned it!! I think I got this from a vintage store in Brooklyn a while ago! I love these kind of surprises!! The bag is actually really old and I can no longer use it but I used to heavily use it before. I'm going to display it nicely knowing that Marilyn also had this bag! I'm so glad to find this video! Thank you for the info!!!

[@dawnpratt4608]

Why do i cry when i look at her things?? Dear marilyn.

[@lisamarie5781]

Hi Laura, I really look forward to your video's and loved this one. Was wondering if you would do a video of Ava Gardner. Ava was so stylish and I'd imagine would have a great make up and skincare routine.

[@claredriskell9833]

After seeing that lipstick in Marilyn's bag, I think we know where Besame got the inspiration for their Marilyn lipstick tube..

[@Laurajaneatelier]

Yup

[@katiecoollady]

I am really enjoying your content. I think Marilyn would approve!

[@Ingrid0410]

Love your vintage bags💜 I have a vintage bag collection and love to use them!

[@suededogs9670]

Oh Laura , do love your channel so !. I do have a pic of Marilyn with a cigarette. And I always loved that square perspex box bag she had in Niagara . I did get to see one of her dresses , the black fringe one from Some like it hot at the MOMI museum . You could almost put your fingers thru the guard in an attempt to touch it but alas , you can really tell how small in height she was.

[@jouliadanilidi2619]

I love Marilyn Monroe ❤️thank you Laura, 🙏

[@lisama4903]

Thank you for this video! I hadn’t heard of the Christie’s book before, and I’m a huge Marilyn Monroe fan. I would love to buy it or get it as a gift. I loved seeing her bag replica and the items she would’ve carried with her. So elegant and timeless. Really enjoyed this x

[@connieliscio5593]

Laura thanks again for doing a Marilyn Monroe video again-i adore her! Btw, you have a really pretty impressive purse collection yourself, very pretty!

[@DalainaRenee]

Loved it 😊

[@jingle_dell9442]

Been wanting a video like this forever 💗💘 also I love your nails

[@christinap6760]

Hi Laura. Beautiful handbags! They are very particular especially flowers bag but also little bag with lipstick! Wow very original, I like their snap closure typical of old bags. Also the bags make me remember beauty case. They could seem modern and actual for me! They could be back in! Bye 🤗🤗👍👍💕💕

[@xtina6569]

I've loved Marilyn since I was 11 and I'm 38 now, love at first sight. I remember my mum was watching a MM movie and I asked her who the pretty lady was. Then at 16 I discovered Sharon Tate, two of the most beautiful women both inside and out. I'm more of a goth type girl, but enjoy seeing what was used back then. Make-up especially was made so much nicer then. (I also love Natalie Wood, Brigitte Bardot etc but MM and Sharon are my top two lol)

[@MygirlsGJPB]

Goth girls can rock a retro winged eyeliner!

[@lee3171]

I saw an episode of antiques roadshow that featured a couple of "minauderies". The compact with lipstick and powder and cigarette compartment with a chain reminds me of the minauderies. Ofcourse those had some real jewel encrustments and were worth a ton.

[@Tamar-sz8ox]

Love this 1 !

[@CP-jv6sc]

Love this video it was really interesting. I would like to see more of these. How about cher, Raquel Welsh, Phyllis Diller and doris day?

[@KateRambo]

She was very much a casual smoker - there are lots of pictures of her smoking if you search for them! Great concept for a video, you have a great collection.

[@NatalieSmith79]

I love Marilyn Monroe 💖💖💖💋

[@Laurajaneatelier]

🥰💕💕💕

[@AnastasiaChase]

Great video as usual. 🥰 where did you get that gorgeous book of all her auction items??

[@lydiapurple]

So glamorous!!

[@lydiapurple]

Your bag collection is gorgeous!!!

[@Laurajaneatelier]

Thank you

[@jcp9332]

I Magnin was a high and Department store

[@sherrisiegel5787]

I love those floral vintage Marilyn Monroe purses. Where did you get them? Really enjoyed this video.

[@CoffeeVibe]

I have this same book from Christie's! I was going to tell you that you should absolutely get it! I bought it on eBay, for about 50$ CA, 20 years ago. Where did you take yours?

[@blueskygal255]

I saw Monroe smoking in one old video - but she kept it by her side so it was out of sight. Dimaggio took care of her after death and it was rumored they were going to remarry before her death.

[@selenaadelle9810]

You should do a video on Thelma Todd !

[@dontknowmyname739]

Hope you would do Audrey Hepburn's beg too! xo

[@aaguilar1962]

Wow

[@Lifewithmarilyn]

I noticed that alot of women didn't have big wallets. I have been trying to downsize to a small vintage box purse and l always struggle with this. I need a small wallet for about 8 cards. License, health, debit etc..basic necessary daily cards. And cash and coins. What do you suggest? Could you do a video on vintage women's wallets? Love the video thanks for sharing!

[@vintagebeauty2]

I ❤️ the needle point floral bag! How pretty! Marilyn Monroe 💋 I love her! A true fashion icon. Love your video! Thank you Laura! 😊

[@Laurajaneatelier]

Thanks for watching

[@Josephineee3]

Could you please link the Make-up products you bought?

[@tysonmartin6058]

Can u do a Jackie Kennedy version? ❤

[@MsShabriaGxo]

❤️❤️

[@margaretgallo914]

Laura, where did you get your jewelry?

[@conversaeora4964]

Legendas em português please

[@larissafagundes7]

Legendas em português, por favor🥲🙏🏻

[@yosoykarito]

Please, do more videos about Audrey Hepburn and Ingrid Bergman.

[@leagriffiths575]

There are loads of photos of Marilyn smoking in the 50s. I think it was social smoking and she seems to have stopped by the 60s.

[@charh6028]

There are some pictures of her smoking in her New York portraits x

[@littleblackbabycat]

They must have been so heavy to carry. All the products are made 9f substantial metals and decorated, and the bags alone are heavy.

[@Jessica-my3dm]

🙏👍💄👜👛

[@foxgloved1]

this is a picture out there of here smoking,and also a video of her smoking pot!
