Capture the elegance of the 1950s with this exquisite Kigu powder compact. Crafted in England, this gold-tone beauty features a guilloché engraving with a moiré effect on the lid. The compact opens to reveal a striped interior lid stamped with the iconic Kigu trademark, concentric circles on the base, and a mirror that bears gentle traces of time: white speckling around the edges, with a clear center that still reflects beautifully.
