    Google says that there used to be a department in London with the name D.H.Evans. Think it could have been sold here?

    Oh my! That brings back memories.

    Wrong Evans, davey. The ones you're thinking of sell clothes for larger ladies. D H Evans was a mid to high end department store on Oxford Street and there was only one of it. Sort of - they did a copy in Wood Green which did not do well.

    It's House of Fraser now. I think that bag is probably late 60s/early 70s from the embossing, stitching and lining. And yes, made for them. Not cheap.
