Vintage beaded satin embroidery bag.
Handle is made of Multi colored and shaped beads.
Closure is made of decorative gold tone metal with Kiss closure, very heavy.
It appears that the purse has been reinforced to the closure by stitching.
The body of the purse is made of Cream colored satin type material. Has embroidery leaf vine design with faux pearls.
Colors are Read, Green and Purple and are still bright and vibrant after all these years.
There are strings of beads attached to the bottom of the purse. They are alternating colors of Green, Red, Gold, Dark Blue and Purple.
All the strings have a large bead at end except the gold strand. I believe this is the way the purse was made.
The inside is also cream colored satin, with no stains.
The outside is clean. There are no snags or missing pearls or beads
I do not know the age of this purse, but appears old.
Maybe a Flapper Purse.
