This dark green purse is covered all over (except for the thread embroidery area) with iridescent glass beads. Color tones of the iridescent beads are mainly green, bronze, and blue. The purse looks almost black in the photo, but it is not black.
This vintage beaded bag from the 1960s features floral embroidery on the front and on the beaded frame. The inside is lined with dark green satin, and it has one little pocket inside. The handle of the purse is also beaded.
To open the bag, just lift the scalloped frame, which is hinged.
I would rate this purse in excellent vintage condition. The only issues (and they are minor) are some fabric showing on the handle near deals where it's attached on each side and the back of the frame has a bit of a gap between one metal part and another. I have other purses with this type of frame, and they look similar, but I wanted to mention it, anyway. I would be happy to send additional closeup pictures to anyone who's interested in purchasing the bag.
Measurements are approximately 9 1/2 inches wide, 6 1/4 inches high (not including the handle), and 2 inches deep.
Very pretty vintage beaded bag in an unusual color. Great to add to a collection of vintage beaded bags.
