Prison art purse made from Camel cigarette packs。Vintage handwoven cigarette wrapper belt in the prison art / folk art tradition. Constructed from folded cigarette pack wrappers woven into an interlocking geometric pattern with an integrated woven buckle and closure (all one piece — no separate metal hardware). Identifiable cigarette brands in the weave include Kool, Winston, Camel, and L&M. Based on wrapper graphics, this piece likely dates to the mid- to late-20th century (approximately 1960s–1980s, possibly earlier). I acquired this at a garage sale in southern Florida in the mid-to-late 1980s and have kept it in my personal collection for roughly 40 years. Condition: structurally strong and still flexible/wearable. Some wear to portions of the exposed foil surfaces consistent with age and use. No major breaks noted in the weave. Approximate maximum wearable waist: 26 inches. Interesting piece of Americana, outsider art, tobacco memorabilia, vintage folk craft. The waist is tiny - I\'ve thought over the years that it could be made to be a really interesting hat band though. This item will be shipped in a box to protect it.
