This is a Brand New, 100% authentic Mark Cross Black Rear Window Overnight Case with gold plated hardware.

In 1954, Alfred Hitchcock called on Gerald Murphy to design an overnight case for Grace Kelly’s character in “Rear Window” in which she portrays New York City girl-about-town and socialite, Lisa Carol Fremont.

Used throughout the extended scene when Kelly arrives to scandalously spend the night with Jeff, as portrayed by James Stewart, the bag is referenced and used numerous times:

Kelly calls it her 'Mark Cross overnight case,'......Stewart asks if it's really a suitcase, Kelly opens it to display a negligee as she coyly says "Preview of coming attractions,"

Lieutenant Thomas J. Doyle, as portrayed by Wendell Corey, makes an innuendo about it and its purpose and lastly, Kelly naively asks if the Lieutenant thinks she's stolen it. 

A rare opportunity to acquire an incredibly beautiful & iconic piece.
