This is a lovely little vintage handbag or evening bag. It dates to about the 1940s.
It has a background of cream and coffee coloured threads and has lots of embroidered flowers all over - front and back. The pattern on each side is identical. It has a very pretty gold-tone clasp - with a pyramid shaped catch made of black polished agate at the top. I love the little Classical palmettes on the clasp area.
It is in good vintage condition with no tears and is clean. However, there is a little stain (not dirt) but perhaps from the bag having water spilled on it and marking the threads. I have photographed this - it is rather indistinct if you are using the bag - it is on the front on the beige colour stitched area and near the flowers. I have photographed this for you. I have substantially reduced my asking price to take this into consideration.
The interior of the bag is in warm honey-cream taffeta which is totally clean - with no signs of any use. It is as nice as the day that it was made. There are two little pocket sections on the inside - where you could perhaps store your bank card to use when out and about. There is inside its original mirror and a little comb (clean and never used).
It is certainly a fine example and looks like it has been stored away from the day that it was made and never used. Comes from a smoke-free house,
Dimensions of the bag body - is 7 inches in height including the clasp - the width is 9 inches. The drop including the handle is about 12 inches. It is a nice larger size and will allow you to pop your mobile phone, keys and some personal items inside.
