Earl Gresh Wooden Purses
Earl Gresh - St. Petersburg, FL
Earl Gresh purses were made
based on a Design Patent for a Handbag he received on July 13, 1943. This was
the start of a new business. The first purse he made was entered into The
Smithsonian Museum. All his purses were made from different woods from all over
the world. He made one purse he called the "Woods of Florida" purse. The Earl
Gresh purses are considered to be made by one of the great
Tampa Bay Area Makers.
