This is a gorgeous and striking French beaded evening handbag created during the 1930's era by the respected and talented  designer, Josef.  It is covered in bright white tiny glass seed beads and intricately hand detailed with Tambour embroidery in the Point de Beauvais stitch.  The lovely pastel shades are a sight to behold, my photos express the rich and varied colors well and the pattern is repeated entirely on both sides, all outer edges and the beaded carry handle as well. 



 

 

As you can see from my photos, the pattern and detailing is quite complicated and expressive, all areas were hand worked.  This purse has a lot of personality and will blend beautifully with many different wardrobe colors.  The condition of this handbag is remarkable, very clean and distinctive.  I detect no bead loss, no discolor to the exterior, no wear, just a well cared for vintage treasure.  This evening purse is fairly roomy inside as well, stuffed with tissue, it measures generously at 6 in height, 8½ in the lower width, the sides and bottom span 1¾ inches and that fabulous handle drops 6 inches.

 

The frame is an eloquent crown for this purse sporting enameled workmanship in the style of Champlevé, all highlighted with beading and faux pearls, very elegant, appropriately color coordinated and showing little if any age or wear.  The interior has lots to offer with it's dual pockets, lipstick slot, designer label and change purse with attached make-up mirror.  The interior lining appears only gently used but no abuse and has been cleaned to the best of my abilities for your future enjoyment.  This wonderful vintage evening handbag has it all, it's easy to love and comes from a well known and recognized French designer.
