The satin lid contains the two original elasticated straps to hold the comb and comb holder in place. To the upper left we can see the gilt Kigu triangular registered trademark and to the right of the comb the case is signed 'KIGU of London' in gilt lettering. The crimson velvet base has fitted compartments for the 'Flippy' (lipstick holder and mirror) and the compact. The model of compact is the slimline 'Venus' loose powder compact.
