1950's French Diamante Evening Bag Compact
A fabulous diamante evening bag enclosing a fitted compact. The bag, which is covered with sparkling diamante stones, has a round gilt chain handle, the gilt frame has close set stones and tiny glass beads in a twisted rope effect. The bag is lined with ivory satin and the second gilt compartment has a mirror, powder compact, a further hinged compartment and space for a lipstick. The condition is good, there are two diamante stones missing near the clasp, this is not obvious and in fact would not be noticeable when used. Please see the photographs.
The handle is strong, the frame and clasp are in perfect working order.
This gorgeous bag is the epitome of 1950's glamour.
