Hi! I'm new to the forum. I have a small collection of vintage purses and a friend suggested I join a forum to help date them.
Here is my most interesting find:
- it's a small beaded clutch with no label
- there is a small piece of fabric inside that may have been a label (perhaps handwritten?) but it just looks like light red smudges now
- there are three types of beads
- after doing some research I think the embroidery is called crewel
- I'm unsure of the types of beads or the fabric
- some of the beads are tiny and difficult to see in the pictures but they are between the pearl-like beads and the white beads
- the fabric is soft and slippery
- the stitching inside is lose around the opening but tighter around the pocket (pocket unfortunately isn't shown because I'm getting an error message but you can see the tighter stitching near the "label")
I'm attempting to upload photos! Hope it works!
-
ETA: I can't seem to get all of the pictures to show up. I'll keep trying though
EATA: evidently I'm too old for technology. Going to bed!
