This smooth worn leather wallet mini purse has laced sides. The wallet opens up to a billfold. Worn but overall in excellent condition.
One of Janis Joplin's greatest fans and later friend, Miriam Vermes, has kindly given Leland's the opportunity to offer her collection of Janis' personally owned belongings. Miriam spent time with Janis in Toronto in 1970 after posing as a reporter for the Montreal Star. She interviewed Janis at the Waldorf during her Festival Express Tour. Janis was astounded at the wealth of photos and information about her and allowed Miriam to photograph her and even invited Miriam to dinner, overnight and even backstage. At one point they traded personal belongings and these Miriam would now like to see be treasured and displayed. LOA available.
