Favourite pieces - Velvet Pochette

…these is something like a series of my very favourite, cherished pieces in my wardrobe. 
I start with this pochette.
It’s from the late 30s or early 40s maybe – soft velvet, fine broidery.
I imagine a chic woman wore it with loose silk empire dress to cocktailparties - I’m also carring it when I go out, sipping Gin Tonic, wearing a casual dark-jeans and dark cotton v-neck. I’m looking for that silkdress nevertheless…
Some things make you dream - and those illusions can hardly be transported via new products and garments - history is found in vintage pieces more easily, especially when things like couture is iut of (financial) reach.

There is no label inside. 

I found it in a secondhand-shop in the outskirts of Hamburg.
