good evening!

Mandalian Manufacturing also made mesh purses, so you do want to look for a stamp on the inside of the frame to identify it.

Whiting and Davis bought out Mandalin in 1944, and they still produce evening bags; the page with their history is on their website here.
 
I see what looks like a small ID tag on the frame in the close up. And I doubt the colors are faded as these are enamels. The Dresden mesh has a watercolor effect.
