Vintage French Beaded Bag

Collectibles : Vintage : Beaded Purse, Signed

 

My bag has a label inside with French Bag Shop, Miami Beach,New York. The front and back have the same flowers. Very intricate beading which is very time consuming. The top of the frame has black beads and a row of pronged set rhinestones. On the sides are pearl clusters which are peeling and cracking but still looks nice. The lining is in great shape and done in a satin peach fabric which has no damage what so ever. There is also two pockets inside.

There might be a bead here and there missing that I can not see, as they are micro beads. The handle is just over 10"inches and I believe it is called a snake chain. The purse is 8"inches long by7 1/8"inches wide. To open the bag you pull up the round disc and it opens. The disc has black beads and center pearls only one remains, and the back of the disc you can see strands of wire holding them on and also the frame.

The handle and frame are done in goldtone finish. The bag has some weight to it and it is so sturdy and in wonderful condition with no weak spots or loose threads that you can use it for that special night out.
