Poodle Purse

French poodles were quite the rage in the 1950's.  In fashion they appeared on blouses, poodle skirts and even jewelry. This vintage poodle purse by Walborg is my favorite example.

This "miniature" poodle purse is completely covered in black caviar beads.  The face and body, even the underside of the ears, are smoothly beaded in black.  The head, ears, tail and legs bear the distinctive poodle cut executed in loops of caviar beads, creating a fluffy and authentic poodle look. The nose is beaded in white, and the glass eyes are pink with black centers.

The bag opens with a zipper at the center back.  It is lined in black satin and bears the label "Walborg, Hand Made in Japan".

These bags originally came in three sizes and this one is the smallest.  This poodle purse is in pristine condition, and is hoping to be adopted soon.
