1960's Gold Satin Evening Purse with Sequins, Beads + Lucite Drops. Converts to Clutch Bag (sold)

This is such a fun bag, it just must go to a party or to the ball! Here we have a gold satin evening bag decorated all over with nice big golden sequins.  From the centre of each sequin dangles a delicious yellow faceted acrylic teardrop shaped bead.  Each of these bright yellow drops is suspended from a row of little glass seed beads - WOW!  This is certainly a 'Hong Kong' beaded bag from the 1960s or early 1970s.  It has a pleasing round shape and is slightly padded to make it nice and plump!  Inside is the same fabric, a smooth satin in a creamy gold tone.  It has a pocket for a mirror. The bag has a gold tone frame with a 'kissing' type clasp.  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 inches with an 11 inch chain.  The condition is excellent too!
