Vintage 1940s 50s Hand Beaded Evening Bag | Black Bugle Bead Purse

Hi! I'm Josephine. I've closed more cabaret nights than the band. 🖤✨ DETAILS: A hand-beaded evening bag from the era when a purse was built to be looked at. Unlabeled, and every stitch says handmade. • Fully hand-beaded in black bugle beads with a paisley-and-floral motif in red, teal, gold and plum • Silver-tone frame with an ornate filigree fan push clasp • Detachable silver-tone rope chain strap on hook clips • Black satin-finish lining with one interior slip pocket • Brand label: none — the piece is unlabeled • Very good vintage condition — beadwork intact, frame and chain show a gentle age patina MEASUREMENTS (laid flat): Width: 7 at the widest point Height: 6.5 (frame to base, not including clasp) Chain strap: approx. 26 end to end STYLING: This is the bag you carry when the outfit is simple and the night is not. Black slip dress, red lip, and let the beadwork do the talking — or clip the chain on and wear it crossbody over a chartreuse suit for a jolt of color.
