In this guide I will introduce you to the small world of the Houpette  Pli, the unusual container with a retractable swansdown powder puff from France.

 The pli was manufactured by Alexandre Willk. Their primary client was Molinard.

Plis can be found made up of celluloid, bakelite and galalith.The bottom unscrews for powder and is usually  imprinted “Brevette Pli S.G.D.G. Made In France”. The top unscrews and reveals a fluffy powder puff when the cylinder tube is pushed up.

Plis range in value from $75-$125, more for those with rhinestones or fancy decoration.
