1950's Kigu Suitcase Compact - Rare and Collectable (Sold)

This is a very special compact introduced by Kigu in1951.  It is a little suitcase with luggage label and strapping detail on the front and the words "Bon Voyage" engraved inside along with the manufacturer's name.  The neat handle is really a clever catch which simply pushes down and was designed to ensure that you didn't catch your manicured fingernails when opening!  This charming and collectable compact  is in great shape and has its original sifter and sleeve and has also just a couple of tiny dents on the back  one is shown in one of the pix.They really don't detract from the beauty of this and are probably little souvenirs from its past travels! Featured on page 51, Novelty Compacts, in the Miller's Book 'Powder Compacts' it has a guide price of £65 - £85.  You can snap up this little beauty for a lot less from us!
