Product Details

This item is a vintage black beaded evening bag or clutch, likely dating from the mid-20th century (1950s-1960s). Key Features Material: The exterior is covered in intricate black glass seed beads, arranged in a diamond or geometric pattern, some with a slight iridescence. Frame and Clasp: It features a silver-tone, possibly filigreed, metal frame and often utilizes a kiss-lock or snap closure. The simple, elegant frame suggests a mid-century origin, as older bags often had more ornate frames. Style: It can be used as a clutch, but many similar vintage bags include a hidden or detachable chain strap to be worn as a shoulder bag or crossbody purse. Origin: Many such beaded bags from this era were handmade in places like France. No strap with it.
