* VINTAGE 1940s BLACK BEADED PURSE WITH TONS OF TINY BEADS AND A BEADED POM POM PULL

A very cute vintage 1940s black beaded purse encrusted with hundreds of tiny black beads.

Big beaded pom pom for the pull on the metal zipper. Pleated beaded sides. A very heavy purse because of the beads. Black satin lining. Flat bottom on the purse. Small side pocket to carry a drivers license or a few bills. It feels like there is heavy cardboard or something similar on the sides of the purse which have pulled away from the sides inside but maybe that was how it was made. They could always be glued if you wanted to do that but I would not go to the trouble.  It cannot be seen from the outside.

Measurements: 11" across the widest part of the front of the purse - 7" from the top to the bottom of the purse - handle is 16-3/4" - width appx 3"

There are some beads missing but one really has to look to see them since the purse is black and there are tons of beads on there.

Just the cutest little vintage purse with the big pom pom pull!

Care Instructions

We examine each item carefully and note any imperfections, but unless an item is said to be new, please don't expect it to be perfect & even some new items have small imperfections. I will always state in the description if there are any imperfections & I never do repairs but leave them to others who are better able to do them than me as that is not my expertise.

Please remember that unless specified all items have been used and will show varying signs of use or wear. We always list the obvious imperfections to the best of our abilities. However, some slight imperfections that will not show or affect wearing or using the item may slip by or not be considered worth mentioning.

Vintage nightgowns & peignoirs may be delicate so I do not wash them in the machine. I wash them in lukewarm water with Woolite or some other mild soap, then rinse & hang dripping wet in the shower.

Since these are vintage items, a bit of extra care needs to be taken with them so they remain beautiful & I definitely would never put a vintage nightgown or a peignoir in the dryer as it would ruin it.

The items are sold as we find them. We do not dry clean, launder, alter or repair vintage clothing and they should be cleaned or washed upon arrival. Please make your selection carefully & check the measurements as there is no return on clothing or other items.
