Aluminum Vintage Purses

In the mid 1900s aluminum was used in the manufacturing of purses using several different processes. These processes included alumesh, aluminum armour mesh and mylar.

Alumesh

Aluminum was used in the 1930s - 40s to create beautiful metallic purses using a process called alumesh. The process created a finish of enameled aluminum which was very pliable giving the purse the feel and look of a vintage beaded purse. Alumesh purses were manufactured by companies including Whiting and Davis.

Aluminum Armour Mesh

This process was used for a very brief period in the 1930s. The metal is very light and has the feeling of liquid metal.

Mylar

In the mid 1950s a metallic yarn called Mylar was introduced. It was made by combining DuPont polyester film to aluminum foil. The Mel-Ton brand purses using the gold mylar were very expensive and a fashion statement of the day.

Chinese Imports

Imported purses from China in the 1970s were made of bright metallic gold mesh. The purses were made from 100 percent aluminum and were very popular with the disco set. Examples of theses purses can be seen at Ruby Lane.
