Lumen, the answer is a grip, hold-all, bag...

Hi Lumen,

"valse" is French/Ravel for 'waltz' so around "i" gives the answer which, Chambers gives is one of the definitions of "grip".

Sorry Lumen, I only scanned your question and missed you already had the Ravel dance part.

Thanks, I see it now...a US definition.

Glad we could help, Lumen.

It is in Chambers. Not new.

Thanks Syz!

My father had one of those leather bags which he called a grip. The closing mechanism was two half frame pieces at the top that snapped together, possible sprung in some way, and certainly gripping!

A quickie, with some lovely clues. Thanks as ever, syz and sunray.
