REDUCED Vintage Glass Beaded Drawstring Purse with Fringe

Collectibles : Vintage : Purse

 

This particular purse is covered in taupe glass beads which gives the bag a great weight and looks fantastic. The beads are sewn into the crocheted body; the drawstring part is also crocheted with beads around the rim; when gathered they create a ruffled appearance which is quite pleasing. The drawstring function works and I see no holes or rips throughout the header / drawstring area. The pull cords each have a nice cluster of beads on them; see photo. The lining is also taupe and is in good condition; there is only one tear in the lining, at the bottom, and I photographed that area up close for you. The only missing beads I can find would be the one missing fringe piece. The bag still displays quite nicely as you can position it such that you cannot even tell there is a fringe missing. Still, I have priced this bag with that damage in mind. Offers are, as always, welcomed. Circa 1935. Measures 8.25" from top to bottom without the fringe; 11.5" with the longest fringe piece. The widest point in the bag is 6.0".
