This stunning evening bag is impeccably embellished with tambour woven embroidery an outstanding frame to compliment!

A satin finished silk pleated top pouch is suspended from the most exquisite jeweled, beaded and enameled leaf frame! Front flip up latch follows with more of the same.

The frame measures 6.5" across and the bottom of the bag is a roomy 9". It is 6.5" high with a pretty chain carrying strap that measures 10", rising 4.5" from the top of the bag.

This very feminine bag is roomy enough for your cell phone, glasses, wallet and anything else you may need. Hand stitched silk interior offers l small open pocket and the rest of the space is yours to fill.

CONDITION: Excellent vintage condition. The bag was likely carried once. Interior is immaculate. The threads holding the bag to the frame have deteriorated with age allowing the bag to sag a little (as can be viewed in the photographs) but it will leave in the morning to be re-stitched with new silk thread. Makers signature imprinted in gold has darkened but remains present - HAND MADE Denis Trancet PARIS.

An absolute gem of a bag which is so much nicer than it photographs!
