1950s handmade from a kit or pattern. Cute with the bells.

I sold a piece very similar to your purse. I researched it before listing and agree with the 1950s date. My purse was a hand crocheted brown rayon cord with white beads. The bottom was an oval faux tortoise shell and hinges were also faux brown tortoise shell.

Thanks to you both.
