Beautiful Vintage Tapestry and Glass Bead Handbag/Purse Handmade in France for C. store & M. Caron
This handmade bag has beautiful multi-color flowers surrounded by tiny, black glass seed beads that are hand-cut, making it sparkle. It has a black satin liner and change purse and closes with a hinged, spring-loaded snap. The measurements are 10" store at the widest part, about 8.5" high with a 7" strap drop. The beads on the back side are sewn in a swirl pattern and the metal around the hinge and clasp is gold-tone. The best thing about this bag is the wonderful condition. The interior is immaculate, and I could not find a single bead missing on the entire body of the bag. And the strap is only missing a few that are near where it attaches to the jump ring that holds it onto the bag. I don't think you will find any other that is this old in this condition.
