I almost don't know where to start with this bag, it is just so beautiful! I guess I'll just begin at the beginning as they say. It is a dainty looking but remarkably strong little evening bag with hand stitched pearlescent micro beads, sewn in repeated swirl patterns on the body. The short, tubular top handle is also completely beaded and so comfortable in the hand-- it can also be worn on a forearm. The top frame is wrapped in satin on the inside, and the goldtone kisslock clasp has clear faceted rhinestones in it-- just another gorgeous detail in an already superbly designed bag by now closed venerated California retailer I. Magnin. It is a true gem, perfect for an evening soiree, fancy brunch, or for a bride and will even fit your cel phone!

~CONDITION:

Excellent vintage condition! A combination of it being well cared for and high quality have worked in this purse's favor; there are no missing beads or popped stitches at all. There are some super minor scuffs on the edge of the satin lining the top frame, but other than that, this purse is in fantastic condition, especially taking into account that it is 60 plus years old!

As ever, I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.
