The opening catch is very unusual in that it raises up like a drawbridge to the sides to open and to close lowers and fits snug over the two clasp edges on each side of the bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe handle and chain is in excellent condition - all held in place on the main beaded textile by tiny wee vintage pins or pegs. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bag has its original dark blue lining which has a subtle printed purple pattern on it - and lined all around the edges with old gold brocade border.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are no damages, holes or losses to any of the beading on the main body section. It is certainly in \"special as new\" vintage condition - you would certainly be happy with it - of course also lovely and clean - it looks like it has been stored in a drawer for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeight to top of the clasp from the bottom of the bag is 9 1\/2 inches (not including the fringes) – and width is 7 1\/2 inches.
