Sally Milgrim Leopard Print Lady's Handbag.
Vintage leopard print lady's handbag with a matching coin purse. Lepard prints are often considered neutral, but I see 'Statement' (think Marilyn Monroe, Jane Russel). This piece is in very good condition; the only sign of age shown is the oxidization on the brass studs and rings on the handle (please see the photos; more are available upon request). 
I could not pinpoint the exact date through my research, but I was intrigued by what I found on the designer I have copied below. I know that Sally Milgrim was designing from the 1920s to 1960 when she retired. She was a trailblazer, and I hope you find her story as intriguing as I did.

Sally Milgrim (née Knobel; April 21, 1898 – June 16, 1994) was an American businesswoman and fashion designer. She notably designed the dress Eleanor Roosevelt wore to her husband's first inaugural ball. 
Milgrim began displaying her dress designs at her husband's business to appeal to female consumers. By 1922, her dress designs were sold across twenty-nine states, and she was recruited to design clothes for Broadway productions. Milgrim eventually opened her store on 57th Street near Fifth Avenue in 1927. Due to her popularity, Milgrim was forced to move into a larger space on Fifty-Seventh Street to sell her designs. Architect L. H. Friedland designed her building, and the interior was by the Paris Studio of New York.
In 1933, Milgrim was asked to design a dress for Eleanor Roosevelt to wear to her husband's first inaugural ball. The light blue dress would later go on display at the Smithsonian Institution. Milgrim also designed dresses for Marilyn Miller, Ethel Merman, Pearl White, and Mary Pickford. In March 1936, Milgrim was honored by the New York League of Business and Professional Women for her achievements.
In 1941, Milgrim unveiled a new collection called "Arabesque," inspired by their modest fashion. The clothes in this collection emphasized women's "tent-pole Silhouette," which means she combined many styles into one. She also created a "ready to wear" clothing line labeled "Salymil." Vogue described this label as "fresh young clothes."
