This petite Mid Century clutch was hand beaded by the legendary atelier of Bags by Josef. Wave shapes are created using almost iridescent royal blue bugle beads, sewn on one by one. The gemstone quartz cabochon clasp and indigo silk lining are subtle, but scream high quality craftsmanship.

~CONDITION:
Overall very good condition. The callouts are that one area has become unsewn at the top (which doesn't affect the overall appearance) and is shown in a closeup pic; there is enough thread that if you are handy with a needle you can weave it back in. The price reflects this little blip. There is also some discoloration on the inside frame, perhaps from perfume. This gem of a clutch has lived a glamorous life and is ready to head out on its next soiree!
