The pearl on this case has some lovely pastel colors and is enhanced
with two double rows of bright rhinestones, all secure and accounted
for. My photos are showing this unique design beautifully and the very
nice condition of this purse. Around the outer edge of the pearl is a
rather unique application. The truth is, I don't really know what is is,
under magnification, it looks like iridescent glitter with a heavy
overlay of gold gilt stenciling, somewhat unusual but it all appears to
be very secure to the cover. Even though I find no markings on this
purse, the well recognized Evans Company was among the leaders in the
carryall market. For the most part, this vanity compact purse is in very
good vintage condition. There is just a little bit of corner and edge
wear on the top decor but it is very minimal and can easily go
unnoticed. The plain gold tone backside and the golden interior metal
shows less than the normal age related usage, certainly nothing
offensive, no dents corrosion or damages. The clasp opens and closes
with a snap as it should and the chain handle is sound.
 
The interior has it's clear mirror, lipstick tube, powder well with powder
remnants and the make-up puff. This carryall has one of those powder wells that
lifts up to reveal the hidden storage space for that extra $50.00 bill you want
to hide. The mirror pulls forward to reveal the cigarette compartment, an area
that comes in handy for many accessories. I did notice the spotting in the photo
of the cigarette compartment so I used some brass polish and those spots
cleaned up very nicely, I might update that photo. All closed up, this carryall
measures 5¼ in length by 3 in height, has a depth of ⅝ of
an inch and the handle drops 5 inches. If you are looking for something a
little different in a vintage compact carryall, please consider this adorable
example.
