Vintage Kenneth Jay Lane Midnight Navy Flap Bag with Sculptural Gold Clasp
A little jewelry for the wardrobe. This vintage Kenneth Jay Lane flap bag combines a structured midnight-navy fabric body with an ornate circular gold-tone detail and a beautifully linked decorative chain.

Curator's Note
Kenneth Jay Lane's jewelry sensibility takes center stage here. Midnight navy and sculptural gold make a compelling alternative to an ordinary black evening bag, particularly alongside beautifully cut tailoring.
