ESSE Purse Museum & Store Collections Vintage 1950s White Beaded Handbag

It’s the late 1950s, and YOU are decked out in your best attire for a fabulous party. But – what to carry? You need something practical to carry small essentials, but want it to be stylish and have a dash of whimsy. Luckily, this petite beaded bag has the dazzle you need! 

The Details: This vintage gatemouth beauty features a kisslock closure complete with rhinestone-inset knobs, for that extra bit of sparkle. Unique triangular swing connectors bring the beaded body and handle together with just a touch of ‘mod’. 

While there is moderate wear on the hardware appropriate for the bag’s age, its body and handle are both in excellent shape. No beads missing! The lining material has a few marks, but is fully intact and functional, including darling silver-trimmed slip pockets on each side. 

Best of all, this beauty is just large enough to accommodate a modern smartphone, so you can keep all your essentials handy as you time travel!
