‘In the 1930s, Van Cleef & Arpels developed ideas that were to mark its style. These included the Minaudière, an evening bag invented in 1933 by Charles Arpels for Florence Jay Gould, the wife of the American railway magnate. Alfred Van Cleef named this creation Minaudière in homage to his wife Estelle... This accessory is made in a wide variety of models and materials. The Minaudière, which replaces the elegant woman's evening bag, reveals all its secrets by means of an ingenious push-button system, and conceals numerous compartments for make-up, a comb, a lighter...’.
