1940s boxy handbag in blue

Very unusual mid century, boxy handbag.
a wondeful vintage novelty purse. The material is quite interesting. I am guessing it is a type of vinyl which has been textured to look like sewn straw. It is colored in variegated shades of blue. I have never seen another one like this, it has an almost surreal quality to it. The clasp is also unique, sort of like a a frozen wave in brass.
Inside is lined with navy taffeta with one center dividing pocket.

There is no name that I could find but I would love to know who made it. I am guessing 1940s but it could very well be a little earlier or later.

The size is small and the shape is a soft trapezoid with short handle.

..... it has the following measurements.

Body - 4 1/2" tall (not including handle)
by 7" wide (at widest point)

Side width at base - 4 1/2"

Excellent Condition
