1960's - 1970's Beaded Evening Bag - Clutch Purse or on Chain (SOLD)

Another hand beaded gem of a bag from Hong Kong!  This one dates from the 1960s into the 1970s.  It has a design of stylised chrysanthamum type flower heads on it with an all-over pattern worked in tiny amber yellow glass seed beads.   The pattern is repeated on both sides of the bag. The fabric is cream with a shot of gold thread through it.  Inside the lining is a rich buttery cream satin, with the mirror pocket and a little 'Made in Hong Kong' label. The bag is very slightly padded.  The frame is gilt toned with an all over pattern and a 'kissing' type clasp.  The chain is light weight aluminium in a bright gold finish, it has a double link. The clever bit with this bag is the handle; it will just swing inside completely.Two great bags in one -  you can have an evening bag on a chain or you can have a groovy clutch purse, the choice is yours!  Approximate size is 5.5 inches by 6.5 inches at its widest point with a  15 inch chain.  The bag is in great condition.
