Marilyn Monroe's Personally Owned Multi-Colored Floral Tapestry Handbag From The Sydney Guilaroff Collection W/Notarized Letter of Provenance - This beautiful and colorful tapestry bag was owned by iconic actress Marilyn Monroe. The handbag features a multi-colored floral design with multiple compartments and a black leather top handle. The piece comes with a notarized letter of provenance from Marilyn Monroe's personal hairstylist Sydney Guilaroff, which states in part, "This heavy multiple compartment tapestry handbag with multi-color flower and leaf design was left at my studio when she flew in from New York and changed to get ready for a dinner engagement around 1960. Marilyn was pretty irresponsible with her things and when I told her that it was here, she told me to take anything left out of it and to give it away (which of course I couldn't)." Guilaroff was a hair stylist during Hollywood's Golden Age who was the first to receive on-screen credit in films. He worked for more than forty years at the Metro Goldwyn Mayer studios on more than a thousand films, and was instrumental in crafting many of the hairstyles which became the signature looks for numerous film stars. Guilaroff was a friend, stylist, and confidante to many Golden Age stars including Greta Garbo, Joan Crawford, and Audrey Hepburn along with Marilyn Monroe, and styled Marilyn's hair for her funeral in 1962.
