PHOTO NOTE:This minaudier is composed of one color of baby pink Austrain crystals, all bright and shiny. Any darkened crystals in photographs are not dark, but take on shadowing when forming the bunny's body contours, or demonstrate the 3-dimensional aspect of a crystal. There is a Judith Leiber New York plaque on both sides of the center divider, and thus shows in photos taken from the front and back of this minaudiere.For size reference, in the picture with the miniature painting of the lunging cat, the size of the miniature painting is 6.5" wide by 5.25" tall. ABOUT JUDITH LEIBER:Since 1963 Judith Leiber has been amazing the American population with her designs which have numbered nearly 4000, and her novelty minaudieres taking the world by storm. Thus giving Judith Leiber her lasting fame that continues today to result in her pieces being highly sought after for their couture style. The word "minaudiere" comes from a French term for "silly little Trifle." This accurately represents Judith Leiber's highly original, often amusing, quirky, or whimsical tiny bags. Each one is impeccably hand fabricated--using tweezers to place Austrian crystals one by one that form the resultant delightful conversation pieces. Judith Leiber's amazing creations are prized by celebrities for wear on the Red Carpet, First Ladies of the US for Presidential Inauguration balls, and private collectors around the world who continue to pay high prices for the iconic pieces. Judith Leiber pieces are owned by museums across the globe, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York (with over 100 in their collection), the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. And, of course, anyone who likes to be noticed adores these tiny minaudieres! I have never worn one of my own and not gotten exclamations of approval by other women admiring the intricate workmanship and design. SELLER'S NOTE:I have been a Judith Leiber Collector for many years. While I dearly love all Judith Leiber minaudiere purses, I wear only a few of those I have purchased. Thus, I have decided to sell most of my Judith Leiber collection--primarily the minaudiere bags which I have never or rarely worn. All my Judith Leiber minaudieres for sale are retired, many vintage, no longer available on the retail market, rare, and difficult to find. This is one such bag--preowned, but never worn by me, and apparently rarely worn prior to my purchase. It has been stored in its original dust bag and box since purchase. While I have seen many Judith Leiber rabbit Minaudiere bags for sale in gold-tone metal or silver crystals, I have not seen one in this baby pink crystal color for some time.
