This absolutely stunning purse was made in the 1920's.
Featuring a cream celluloid frame it has a very pointed design which has celluloid loops on either side and a black crochet handle. The body of the bag is made from inky black crochet and much of the bag is edged with the most divine black fringing. It is fully lined with fine black grosgrain which is trimmed with purple and green silk flowers.
The clasp features an ornately detailed cameo.
An incredibly beautiful bag which would be great for a collector or vintage enthusiast.
