French Silk
Evening Bag
Lustrous pearls are bezel set on the hand etched,
gold washed frame of this exquisitely chic French
evening bag from the 1950's.
Fortuny style black silk pleats set off this jeweled
frame. The pleats are ingeniously worked in
alternating order, creating a tone on tone Bargello
work effect. The quality and workmanship in this bag
are extraordinary, even the seams are piped in fine
black leather.
The
interior is lined in lustrous black satin and there
are two open pockets. The bag is stamped in gold
with the name and address of the maker in
Paris. This elegant little vintage evening bag has
plenty of room for all of the 21st century
necessities you might want to carry. It is in
pristine condition.
