Manufactured in the USA - Reading PA, Showroom originally located at: Letisse Handbags Inc. 362 Fifth Ave. New York, NY **Box Bags were in the spotlight for the Fall of 1954** Letisse designed and produced moderately priced women's fashion leather handbags. Its founder, Nicholas Braun, had been hospitalized while a. student at the Harvard Law School during the 1940s and began making leather billfolds as a diversion. Seeing potential in the field, he entered the handbag business and built Letisse into one of the largest and most profitable U.S. leather handbag producers, with 400 employees and sales of $3.8 million at its peak, in 1967. Tax and estate considerations led him to sell out in 1969 to the W.R. Grace Company for stock valued at 2.7 times Letisse’s net worth.
