This is a gorgeous dusky blue silk satin evening bag embellished with 3-D hand beaded soutache in iridescent black beads as pictured.

Lined with a blue moire satin with one interior pocket.

Please enlarge the photographs to get an idea of the beauty and workmanship of this bag.

Hinged pewter tone metal frame with a"kiss" clasp as pictured.

Pewter tone metal chain handle.

The back of the purse is almost identical to the front.

DESIGNER: No labels or stamps. This appears to be handmade, I cannot say whether by a factory, or perhaps by an individual home seamstress or tailor.

MEASUREMENTS:

6" across the widest part of the purse and 5-3/4" tall (top to bottom) plus 1/4" top "kiss" clasp.

The chain handle measures 16-1/2" end to end with a 7" center drop.

CONDITION: Excellent - no stains, holes, rips, tears, snags, fading, discoloration, darkening, missing beads, odors or other issues to the outside of the bag. There is a tiny orange mark inside the lining by one of the side seams that is not visible from the outside.

The chain handle and frame have darkened with age - I have not attempted to polish this.

Appears to have been gently used and very well cared for.

Perfect for a bride or bridesmaid. Gorgeous for any special occasion - a handbag you will enjoy and use for many years.
